Offering a glimpse into Newcastle United’s training sessions ahead of their clash with Burnley at St. James’ Park courtesy of the club’s official account, many Magpies supporters are excited for the Premier League bout due to Jonjo Shelvey’s potential involvement.
Shelvey, who has been on the sidelines since suffering a hamstring injury during Newcastle’s 1-0 win over Chelsea back in January, trained yesterday ahead of the Magpies’ upcoming clash against Burnley – with these supporters seemingly hopeful that the Englishman can make his return. The 28-year-old is the club’s current top scorer this campaign with five goals from midfield, all the while averaging 1.7 shots and 1.8 key passes per game in the Premier League, as per WhoScored.com. Out of Steve Bruce’s entire squad, only Allan Saint-Maximin has managed more attempts on goal so far this season (1.8), with the difference only being slight.
As a result, taking into account their side’s failure to find the net since a 2-2 draw at Everton last month, many supporters are hopeful that Shelvey’s potential inclusion could end that sorry run. Find all of their best comments down below.
Burnley are shaking.
