# Newcastle: Jetro Willems prompts fans with Twitter post

**Newcastle fans have reacted to a recent Twitter post from inured left-back Jetro Willems.**

Willems joined Newcastle last summer on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt – after making 45 appearances for the German club. Since his move to Tyneside, the Dutchman has made 19 appearances and recorded 2 goals and 2 assists in that time ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jetro-willems/leistungsdaten/spieler/146258)).

The player has been sidelined since January, after rupturing his Cruciate Ligament against Chelsea which saw the Magpies run out winners with a [1-0 victory](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51073184). Indeed, despite not playing for months, the Dutchman remains the club’s joint-top scorer this season (per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/23/Show/England-Newcastle-United)) and his 1.5 tackles per game average remain the fifth-highest in the squad.

The Toon Army did move to sign Danny Rose on loan following his ailment though the [Daily Mail suggested](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7948867/Newcastle-announce-loan-signing-Tottenham-left-Danny-Rose-end-season.html) at the time that there was no option to make that move permanent in the summer.

Willems took to Twitter on Thursday – posting a video update on his recovery from the injury, which left many Newcastle fans in high hopes about the defender’s rehabilitation.
