Jetro Willems says that his early injury issues at Newcastle United are now behind him.
The Dutchman put in an excellent display down the left-hand side against Watford in the 1-1 draw at St James’ Park.
Willems is now looking forward to regular football after the international break.
The summer signing, who has suffered from hamstring trouble, said: “I am training normally now. Everything was OK to play against Watford, it was right to play and I’m fit to play.”
Willems impressed fans against Watford but insists that there is much more to come from him during his loan spell from Eintracht Frankfurt.
When asked about his performance he said: “I’d say it was not perfect but I created some chances and did my job, so that’s important for me and to keep playing.
“I played last Wednesday against Leicester in the cup and then against Watford – it’s quite tough.
“My last game was I think last season when I played the whole game in Germany.
“So, I’m going the right way – so, it’s a great time for me to have some rest.”
