Newcastle United are confident Saturday’s visit of West Bromwich will go ahead after the players returned to training on Tuesday.
The club’s Benton headquarters have been closed since an outbreak of Covid-19 forced them to cancel training 10 days ago.
The number of cases has now reached double figures in the past two weeks and last Friday’s trip to Aston Villa was postponed because of it.
Players were back at their Benton base for the first time in 12 days after Covid-19 outbreak
There were fears this weekend’s game could also be called off after Monday’s planned training session was scrapped at the last minute.
