He missed Newcastle’s pre-season matches♚ as he was recovering, bu♐t shortly after the season kicked off, he suffered an achilles injury.

Willock returned for the Magpies in the 1-0 loss to 🐻Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League this wee💞k, coming off the bench.

Newcastle are next in action on Saturday evening wh𝓀en they head to Wolves in a 5:30pm BST kickoff.

“Joe is an🍨 infectious character, very popular around the training g🍒round.

“H🥃e has the goalscoring and running capabilities that suit our style.

“It’s early ℱdays, but hopefully he can get🅷 that match sharpness back.”

Joe Willock return a welcome boost for Newcastle side ailing elsewhere

Amid a number of bad news in the Newcastle camp, with several players having injury worries, Willock’⛎s return to action is certainly a welcome boost.

It’s also a timely one, ꧑with Sandro Tonali facing a potential lengthy ban from football for alleged illeg𝕴al betting.

At the same time, Willock will need some time to get back up to speedꩲ after so much time o🎀n the sidelines.

Howe will no doubt do his best to manage th▨e needs of the Newcastle team with ensuring Willock slowly and steadily gets back to his best.
