Newcastle hope Kieran Trippier returns for the final three games of the season to help their European push, and that will be good news for England ahead of Euro 2024.
Mail Sport understands that the 33-year-old, sidelined for two months with a calf injury, is currently in Dubai working with a physiotherapist and fitness trainer.
Trippier was injured during the 3-0 win over Wolves on March 2 and was expected to play after the international break later that month. However, he suffered a setback and his return date was postponed to the match at Crystal Palace last week.
When he missed the 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, fans feared his season could be over.
However, we can reveal there is confidence Trippier will be present when Newcastle host Brighton a week on Saturday, with away games at Manchester United and Brentford to follow before the season ends.

Gareth Southgate will make his long-awaited return before this summer’s Euros.
He will sit out Burnley on Saturday but will return to training next week, with high hopes of making the squad for the final home game against the Seagulls.
That would be a huge boost for Eddie Howe, whose team has maintained its momentum in European football with four wins in the last six games. They are currently seventh, one point behind Man United in sixth place.
Trippier’s long-awaited return will also be noted by Gareth Southgate, with the defender among the leading contenders to start at left-back for England this summer.
