Newcastle United fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Callum Wilson and January marquee signing Kieran Trippier for the final games of the season. But supporters expecting the former to make a swift return to the starting line-up may be disappointed.

Top scorer Wilson has been out of action since December with a calf problem, while Trippier fractured a bone in his foot during last month's win over Aston Villa. The two dressing room leaders have been a big miss for Magpies boss Eddie Howe in recent games but are both stepping up their recovery during the break in Dubai this week.

The home game against Crystal Palace on April 20 has been pencilled in as a rough target for the duo to return to action. However, Newcastle fans should expect Howe to take two separate approaches when it comes to his star men.
