Anthony Gordon is with Newcastle United's squad for this evening's Premier League clash away to Nottingham Forest (kick-off 5:30pm).
The former Everton winger was a major doubt for the trip to the City Ground after leaving St James' Park last weekend on crutches and wearing a protective boot.
Gordon was withdrawn at half-time in the 4-4 draw against Luton Town with an ankle injury and hadn't trained in the build-up in the game.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said: “He hasn’t trained this week. We don’t think the injury is serious. We’re hopeful he’ll be back sooner rather than later."
When asked when Gordon would return to training, Howe replied: "Not at this moment, slightly unclear."
Just over 24 hours later and Gordon is back with the squad and is set to start. Club captain Jamaal Lascelles also returns from a calf issue after missing the last three matches.
