Newcastle United midfielder Miguel Almiron is currently sidelined with a knee injury but the Paraguayan’s international teammate Anthony Silva has now shared a positive update on the 27-year-old’s injury layoff.
Apparently, Almiron’s injury is not as bad as first feared and it remains to be seen whether the Paraguayan can return to action after the international break.
Silva said (via Chronicle): “I spoke with Miguel and it is not as much as they say about his injury. He told me that he is fine.”
Newcastle are in desperate need of attacking quality and the likes of Almiron and Callum Wilson returning to the starting line-up would be a massive boost for Steve Bruce.
The magpies are battling for their survival in the Premier League right now and the latest update on Almiron’s injury will certainly delight the fans.
The 27-year-old has been an impressive form this season and he could make a big difference when he returns to action. Almiron is currently Newcastle’s second-highest scorer this season with five goals in all competitions.
Apart from goals, he adds creativity, flair and drive to the Newcastle midfield. He is undoubtedly the best creator at the club alongside Allan Saint-Maximin (who happens to be injured as well). Furthermore, he helps out his teammates defensively as well with his outstanding work rate at both ends of the pitch.
