Newcastle United training gallery 'leaks' double injury boost ahead of PSV clash

Newcastle United duo Dan Burn and Will Osula have returned to training ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash at home to PSV Eindhoven.

Burn has been ruled out for the last five weeks after sustaining a rib and lung injury in the 1-0 Tyne-Wear derby away to Sunderland.

The 33-year-old’s potential return tomorrow night would come as a major boost to Eddie Howe’s squad, which currently has just four senior defenders available in Kieran Trippier, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Lewis Hall.

Osula, meanwhile, hasn’t been involved in the matchday squad since November, when he was named on the bench for the Champions League win over Athletic Club, only to withdraw 45 minutes before kick-off due to an ongoing ankle issue.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is due to speak to the media later today and will be asked to confirm if Burn and Osula will be available against PSV after the pair were photographed in training on Tuesday afternoon.

Check out the training gallery in full as Howe’s side prepare to take on the Eredivisie leaders.
