The manager is always cautious bnt nature but seemed relatively confident when explaining in his presser that the new signing may play a part at St James Park
Speaking to reporters later he said: “I am hoping if I can get anywhere with him that he would make the bench, and I am not sure yet because I need to wait to see what is coming back from the medical team just now.
But at the moment, I am quite confident and he is desperate to get back playing again so let’s hope.
I would never do anything without the medical people telling me. I would never go against their advice. They will be the ones telling me, I won’t be telling them.
