Jonjo Shelvey has trained with his team-mates this week - meaning he could be fit to face Burnley on Saturday.
The England international midfielder - who turned 28 on Thursday - is Newcastle United's leading goalscorer this season, but a hamstring problem has sidelined him since January's 1-0 win over Chelsea.
He's now pushing for a return to action, though, and will surely come into Steve Bruce's thoughts for the weekend. Javier Manquillo and Emil Krafth also trained on Thursday, while Dwight Gayle and Yoshinori Muto continue to work with the group after recovering from injury in recent days.
