Newcastle United have been handed a timely injury boost with key attacking duo Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron back in training this week. Both players came off with apparent injuries in the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, with Callum Wilson and Joe Willock also suffering problems before and during the game respectively.
Saint-Maximin limped off at the Vitality Stadium with what looked like a knee injury after an awkward fall, while Almiron received a nasty blow to his hand. Speaking after the game, Eddie Howe was confident over the severity of both issues and has thankfully welcomed both men back to the training pitch this week.
Willock, however, is facing a race against time to be passed fit for the Carabao Cup final later this month after limping off with a hamstring issue on the south coast. "The concern from today is Joe who has gone off with a hamstring problem so we'll wait and see how he is," Howe said at full-time.
