Dyer could return to first team

Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer could return to Premiership action this weekend after successfully negotiating his comeback from injury.

The 25-year-old, who has missed his side’s last four games with a hamstring problem, played 70 minutes of last night’s reserve team 4-1 defeat at Darlington and could now be available for selection for Saturday’s vital Premiership clash with Everton at St James’ Park.
