The 27-year-old left-back has been out of action since suffering an injury during the first half of Wales’ Nations League clash with Denmark on 16 November.

Newcastle United full-back Paul Dummett has taken to social media to share a positive update regarding his comeback from injury.

The 27-year-old had to be taken off during the first half of Wales’ Nations League clash with Denmark on 16 November and did not feature in their friendly with Albania.

A few days later, Dummett tweeted his disappointment at having been sidelined and pledged to crack on with “working hard to come back as soon as possible”.

The Magpies left-back has not featured since suffering the injury, missing out on the 2-1 win over Burnley which saw Matt Ritchie named as a wingback in an initial 5-4-1 formation.

On Thursday, Dummett posted another update on Twitter which will no doubt be music to the Toon Army’s ears.

A number of fans replied to Dummett’s post on Twitter, expressing their happiness at his progress:

Dummett, who has made 10 appearances for Newcastle this term in the league, is one of Benitez’s few concrete options at left-back.

Therefore, his return will likely come as a big boost for a club that has shaken off early-season malaise to win three on the bounce.
