Newcastle United Handed Major Double Fitness Boost as Two Stars Spotted in Training Before PSV

Dan Burn and William Osula return from injury to bolster Newcastle's defence and attack ahead of a crucial Champions League match with PSV, aiming to secure a play-off spot.

  • Dan Burn and William Osula were photographed in open training on Tuesday ahead of the Champions League tie as Burn returns from injury and Osula trains after missing squads since November.
  • Dan Burn had been out with a rib and lung injury suffered in the Tyne‑Wear derby, and Newcastle United currently have just four senior defenders available, creating urgency to restore depth.
  • Burn hinted last week he was close to returning, and Howe said the club hoped he'd be back soon; Osula's return could bolster Newcastle's attack after failing to register a shot on target at Wolves until the 86th minute.
  • Their availability could materially strengthen Eddie Howe's defensive options and lift the squad, with a win over PSV at St James' Park securing Newcastle United a Champions League play-off place.
  • Amid talk of a January move for Osula, Howe has stressed fitness and no expectation of a departure, and he will address reporters today to confirm the pair's availability.
