Newcastle pair Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson 'aiming to return from injury in April' and could play in potentially crucial games against Crystal Palace and Norwich

Newcastle duo Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson are reportedly hoping to be back in action by the end of April.

Trippier has been absent for the last five weeks and Wilson has not played since the end of December, so they will be a huge boost to Eddie Howe's squad when they return.

The Magpies have pulled themselves clear of relegation danger over the last two months and currently sit nine points above the drop zone, but they have lost their last two matches.

According to the Telegraph, Trippier and Wilson have both targeted the home game against Crystal Palace on April 20 as a return date.
