Newcastle face a massive game with Brighton this weekend and there is good news regarding Miguel Almiron.
The Paraguayan has missed the last two matches with a knee problem but could return tomorrow.
Boss Steve Bruce suggested he could be part of the squad and that has proved music to the ears of Newcastle supporters.
The manager told The Chronicle: Miggy is a different option.
“He is going along very, very nicely so we’ll keep our fingers crossed.”
Newcastle will welcome the creativity of Almiron back into their ranks for a game that is seemingly must-win.
The £42,000-a-week player has been lively throughout the current campaign, scoring five goals and claiming three assists.
With Callum Wilson out injured, it gives the Magpies another option to utilise in the final third and supporters are hoping for the best.
Plenty of them think he should be thrown straight in from the off and have been reacting to the update on Twitter.
Here is what supporters had to say about the 27-year-old potentially making tomorrow’s game.
