Jetro Willems Provides Fitness Update Ahead of Newcastle's Clash With Liverpool on Saturday

Newcastle defender Jetro Willems has provided an update on his fitness ahead of the club's upcoming clash against Liverpool on Saturday, revealing he has trained normally over the past few days.

Willems was brought in during the summer on a season-long loan from German side Eintracht Frankfurt, with the Magpies having the option to buy the player at the end of the deal.

And following a recent injury to first choice left-sided player Matt Ritchie, Willems will now have the opportunity to impress after overcoming his recent injury troubles.

Ritchie was ruled out for around two months after sustaining an ankle injury in the Carabao Cup clash with Leicester.
