Nobby Solano feels that Eddie Howe's decision to wrap Miguel Almiron in cotton wool for the decisive Premier League run-in should pay dividends.

Almiron remains Newcastle United's top scorer with 11 goals despite a recent thigh injury that resulted in the South American star missing four top-flight matches. The playmaker made his comeback at Aston Villa and got 34 minutes in the tank and is now in contention for the encounter against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
