25-year-old star midfielder set to return after the international break for Newcastle United

Newcastle's start to the new campaign has been brilliant. With 7 points from the first 3 Premier League fixtures and a win against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup, the Magpies club finds itself in a comfortable position in the PL table and better chances for the EFL Cup. However, a major issue that has been worrying the Tyneside club has been their ongoing injury issues.

Joe Willock set to return after the international break for Newcastle United

While the club already was facing injuries of star players, including Sven Botman, Callum Wilson, and Jamaal Lascelles, the recent thigh injury of star midfielder Joe Willock seemed to be traumatizing for the club. However, fortunately, recent updates have confirmed that, unlike the case of others, Willock is expected to return soon for Eddie Howe's lineup.

While the recent disappointing news regarding the delayed return of star defender Botman had demoralized Newcastle fans, the return news of Willock would surely find them in better interest. As per the recent updates on the midfielder's injury, Willock is set to return soon after the international break.

As Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and Sporting Director Mitchell had expressed, recent scans show there is just a small tear on his thigh and not very serious. Recently, The Mail's journalist Craig Hope reported that though much can't be said about Willock's availability Vs Wolves, the midfielder stands a great chance to return for the games after.

Not only does this update find much regard in Newcatle's interest, but more importantly, it will be much relieving for Willock, who had an injury-stricken 2023/24 campaign. Not to forget, Joe Willock had scored in his season debut, in the 1st minute itself, and delivered an impressive performance overall in Newcastle's win over Nottingham in the EFL Cup.

Overall, from Newcastle's perspective, Willock's return after the international break could be one of the best ups for the club recently. Given the form he had shown glimpses of in the Nottingham Forest fixture, much would be expected from the English midfielder in the club's overall campaign.
