CONFIRMED: The £15 million player returned to Newcastle United’s training on Monday, according to the report.
The list of injuries for Newcastle United is unexpectedly getting shorter and shorter.
Despite the loss to Arsenal, Eddie Howe was pleased to have both Joe Willock and Alexander Isak back in his lineup over the weekend. Willock’s involvement was especially thrilling because he hadn’t played since November.
Elliot Anderson may also be joining them as they both aim to participate in tonight’s FA Cup match against Blackburn Rovers. Due to a back issue, he has been absent since October, although there is a remote possibility he will make an appearance at Ewood Park.
The boy from the area has returned to training following an extended break, and the same is true for another long-term victim of Newcastle United.
On Monday, Matt Targett returned to Newcastle’s training.
Matt Targett is back at Newcastle United training on Monday, according to the Telegraph.
Alongside Anderson, he participated despite being absent since November 1st due to a hamstring ailment. After suffering an injury during the Carabao Cup victory over Manchester United, Targett vanished from sight.
However, Eddie Howe said a while back that the 28-year-old was practically back in training, and that has shown out to be true.
The £15 million player is just one of several Newcastle players who have had disappointing campaigns. That has actually been Targett’s situation ever since he made the permanent switch from Aston Villa to Tyneside.
Since signing in 2022, Targett has experienced numerous injury setbacks and has had to watch Dan Burn excel at his position.
Targett’s return to fitness comes at a good moment, as Burn is now having trouble. If he can maintain his fitness, he may be able to return right away to the starting lineup.
Now that Targett and Anderson are back in the training mix, Newcastle’s injury list appears to have significantly reduced. Nick Pope is most likely the next to return, followed by Joelinton and Callum Wilson. But after having surgery, their seasons might be finished entirely.
