Miguel Almiron is set to be out for the rest of the season, leaving a space in Newcastle United’s starting line-up.
The door may just have opened for Yoshinori Muto to come into Newcastle United’s starting line-up for the remainder of the season.
With Miguel Almiron out with injury for Newcastle’s last three games, there is an opening on the left-wing of Rafael Benitez’s starting line-up.
And Muto may finally be about to get his chance to impress at St. James’ Park.
Muto was brought to Newcastle in a transfer worth £10 million, according to the Daily Mail, but he has hardly been utilised yet.
The Japanese international forward has made just five Premier League starts all season for the Magpies.
However, with Kenedy out of the equation, Benitez could surely benefit from testing out Muto.
Newcastle are safe from relegation now, and it seems like the ideal time to find out whether Muto has enough ability to offer Benitez’s side something next season.
