Newcastle United favourite Miguel Almiron has posted a positive update as he works hard on his injury recovery behind the scenes. The Paraguayan hasn't featured since scoring the winner in a 2-1 win over Wolves last month but could be back for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday as he tries to overcome a thigh problem.
Almiron has been running on grass in recent weeks and gave Newcastle fans a further update on Monday as he shared a video of himself completing a number of stretches at the training ground. The winger was also present at training on Tuesday as he shared a second update in the team canteen.
There was slight hope that Almiron would be back playing ahead of schedule in recent weeks but Eddie Howe insisted the target remains late April. “I’d love him to beat the timescale given, but I don’t see it currently," the Newcastle boss said.
