Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has hinted that Miguel Almiron could be drafted back into the starting line-up against Nottingham Forest, with the player given a "rest" in the win over Wolves.
The Paraguay international was named on the bench for the weekend’s 2-1 win at St James’ Park, Jacob Murphy starting in his place. Almiron did come off the bench in the second half of the game to score what turned out to be the winning goal.
That ended a run of five games without a victory for the Magpies. Almiron had also found that goals had dried up in the weeks leading up to the game vs Wolves, with the winger scoring just one in his previous seven starts in the Premier League.
