United boosted by Sean Longstaff's return ahead of Wolves - but Isaac Hayden faces fitness test

Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff has been declared fit to face Wolves after a bout of tonsilitis last week.

The player was told to stay at home and missed training in the build-up to the Manchester United game but must now wait to see if he is involved at Molineux.

Longstaff's younger brother Matty will continue to work with the Under-23s as they face West Brom in Premier League 2 today.

Meanwhile, Isaac Hayden is facing late fitness tests to see if he has sufficiently shaken off his hamstring injury sustained against the Red Devils.

Toon boss Steve Bruce said: "The three lads who played in the U23s have all benefited from that.

"Matty Longstaff will play again today. His brother, Sean, has declared himself okay.

"He’s had a horrible bout of tonsillitis, but we’ve got one or two coming back and that can only be a good thing."

Newcastle also have Paul Dummett and Ciaran Clark back in contention after run outs with the reserves against Fulham at St James' Park when both players got an hour under their belts.
