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.
With eight games left Newcastle legend Solano expects Almiron to prove his worth and cap his best season on Tyneside yet. As the Magpies prepare to face Spurs, Solano has praised the 29-year-old.
