Newcastle Buoyed By Return of Two Key First Team Players to Training Ahead of Visit to Old Trafford

Newcastle United have received a boost ahead of their trip to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United after Paul Dummett and Federico Fernandez returned to training.

Fernandez, who joined the club for £6m in the summer from Swansea, has been one of the Magpies' better players this season. Rafael Benitez has been playing Ciaran Clark alongside Jamaal Lascelles in his absence, but the Argentine is set to come straight back in should he be of sufficient fitness.

Whilst Dummett was out injured, the versatile Kenedy, on loan from Chelsea, deputised at left-back and held his own in a position he hasn't played in much.
