However, a major concern regarding the player has been injuries, which restricted him to only 27 appearances in his debut season and have currently kept him ruled out from July.
But the good news has finally arrived for Newcastle fans. Recently, during a Q&A session, The Athletic's journalist Chris Waugh revealed some major updates on Miley's return. He mentioned that after undergoing surgery for a broken metatarsal, the 18-year-old is showing significant progress and could return in October.
Further, Chris Waugh indicated that the youngster's return could be possible after the October international break. As indicated by the reports, Lewis Miley would miss some key fixtures, including the games against Manchester City and Everton, but Newcastle fans would be more than pleased to see him back for the club.
While, unlike the last season's scenario, it is much more likely that he would have to fight for a place in the playing XI, with the priority three being Captain Guimaraes, Joelinton, and the sensational Sandro Tonali. Given the kind of form Tonali has been, he would be an undisputed starter, making it challenging for Miley's game time.
