Jamaal Lascelles is confident he will return to training imminently after his bout of coronavirus. Newcastle revealed yesterday that club skipper Lascelles and star man Allan Saint-Maximin have both been among the eight Newcastle players who suffered from COVID19.
Both players consented to their medical condition being disclosed after unfounded rumours they'd had a bust up with boss Steve Bruce.
The Newcastle skipper was fit and well enough to watch his team mates draw against Fulham on Saturday night. Lascelles is clear of the virus and is waiting for the all-clear from medics this week after a series of tests to show he's fully fit.
