Ki Sung-Yeung has provided a positive injury update for Rafa Benitez after he recently returned to action during Newcastle's friendly draw against CSKA Moscow on Saturday.
The South Korean midfielder hasn't been able to feature for Newcastle since he returned from the Asian Cup prematurely back in January, after picking up a hamstring injury. He recently made a brief return, taking to the field for 45 minutes against CSKA Moscow as the Magpies registered a 1-1 draw in Spain.
Speaking to Newcastle's official website, Ki spoke about his current situation, stating: "For me it was a great chance to play, fitness-wise because I was back from injury and I got some time to play good football against a good team.
