Newcastle United's John Carver has confirmed that Alan Pardew is expecting to have an [almost] fully fit squad to choose from ahead of next Sunday's game against Tottenham. Both Shola and Sammy Ameobi are recovering from injury, with Shola having resumed full training after a shoulder injury and Sammy recovering from a hamstring problem, whilst Mike Williamson remains sidelined but is on his way back.
Carver said;
"It’s quite a clean bill of health and you’re now at the stage where it’s just fingers crossed with the international games. Hopefully they come through those games.
Shola’s had a good week with the fitness guys. We could have thrown him back into training but we thought it’d be better to give him a good base.
He’s had a solid week. He’ll be back with the group on Monday for the build up to Spurs.
Mike Williamson is coming along quite nicely. He seems happy with himself, he’s doing a lot of hard work.”
Pardew will be concerned about Yohan Cabaye who picked up an ankle injury in last night's France v Albania game, but hopefully the knock wasn't serious and he will be in contention for the clubs next Premier League match.
Hatem Ben Arfa, who is visiting relatives in Tunisia is also expected back ahead of the game.
