Does Miguel Almiron have a fighting chance of being fit in time for Newcastle United's crucial Premier League run-in?
Well, the Paraguayan playmaker is certainly keen to ensure he has the best possible chance of cutting down the initial six-week estimation on his absence. Almiron was a shock omission from the team sheet on the night Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 at the City Ground just six days ago.
In the aftermath of the victory in the East Midlands, Howe spoke of an absence that could take us to the end of April. However, it looks like Newcastle - who withdrew Almiron from international duty last week - are prepared to give him every possible chance of being fit sooner.
