Dyer and Woodgate back in frame

Newcastle duo Kieron Dyer and Jonathan Woodgate are ready to return to the Barclaycard Premiership firing line for the visit of Manchester City to St James’ Park on Saturday.

The England internationals both came through last night’s reserve-team victory over West Brom unscathed after lengthy injury absences and will come into manager Sir Bobby Robson’s thinking for the weekend.
