Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has delivered an update on recovering pair Isaac Hayden and Jamal Lewis.
Hayden underwent knee surgery at the end of last year, having played through the pain barrier for some time. His last appearance came back in December, while Lewis hurt his hamstring against Liverpool in the same month but had been affected by a niggling injury for a while before that.
Howe said: "Jamal's had a long-standing groin problem and I was really pleased to see him operated on. We hope that that's fixed his long-standing problem and he will, again, be okay in a relatively short period of time to return to training with us.
"And Isaac's been working after having a serious knee injury - again, one he'd played with for a long period of time. Touch wood, he'll be back training soon."
