Eddie Howe is hoping to have Kieran Trippier back "quite quickly" providing Newcastle United get the news they are hoping for from a scan today.
The England full-back has been putting the hours in since breaking a bone in his foot against Aston Villa earlier this season but is close to a return. And Howe can't wait to have the influential star back at his disposal.
Trippier rocked into the dressing room in January and quickly became a leader and demonstrated the type of communication skills that helped England to a World Cup semi-final and a European Championship final in recent years.
