Jetro Willems sends message to Newcastle United fans ahead of Watford clash

Newcastle United host Watford on Saturday and will look to build on last weekend’s impressive win against Tottenham Hotspur. The Magpies picked up their first win of the new Premier League campaign at the expense of the North Londoners on Sunday, and manager Steve Bruce will hope they secure all three points against the Hornets. Newcastle have some injury worries ahead of the clash, though, with Allan Saint-Maximin and Matt Ritchie ruled out, with the latter expected to miss almost two months of action.

Summer arrival Jetro Willems is most likely to replace the 29-year-old at left-back or left wing-back depending on the formation Bruce deploys, and the Dutchman will be raring to go.
