Newcastle players WILL be at their training base for the first time in 12 days on Tuesday after Covid-19 outbreak that forced postponement of Aston Villa game and puts this weekend's West Brom fixture at risk

Newcastle United will return to training on Tuesday for the first time in 12 days following an outbreak of Covid-19 at the club.

The club's Benton base was closed last week after first-team players and staff tested positive for the virus and Newcastle's Premier League match at Aston Villa last Friday was postponed as a result.

This Saturday's home fixture with West Bromwich Albion remains at risk of postponement but those who returned negative results in the latest round of testing will return to the training centre on Tuesday.
