Newcastle United injuries: Sean Longstaff has teased his return to the squad for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur.
Newcastle United will benefit from the return of at least one key player from injury when they face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday (4:30pm kick-off).
Sean Longstaff has missed Newcastle’s previous four games due to an ankle injury sustained at AFC Bournemouth a month ago. Although the 26-year-old was able to finish the game at the Vitality Stadium, he has since missed Newcastle’s games against Chelsea, PSG, Manchester United, and Everton.

But he has unofficially confirmed his return to Eddie Howe’s side by posting on Twitter: “Back at it down in London.”

Last week, Magpies manager Eddie Howe confirmed Longstaff’s injury was not serious and that he hoped to see him back in action soon. The midfielder has been an important part of Newcastle’s midfield this season, and he is presently having his joint-best scoring season at the club, with three goals in 17 appearances.
Longstaff sat in the stands as Anthony Gordon scored the game’s only goal to secure a 1-0 win over Manchester United at St James’ Park last weekend. He celebrated the three points with his teammates in the locker room after the game.
And on Monday evening, Longstaff shared the dressing room photo along with a caption stating his ‘full focus’ was now on Thursday’s trip to Everton (7:30pm kick-off).
“What a performance from the lads,” Longstaff tweeted. ” Hope you enjoyed your weekends Mags and full focus now on Thursday!”
Longstaff missed the match at Goodison Park but has made the journey down to Spurs this weekend.
