Ben Arfa joins in training at Newcastle

Hatem Ben Arfa is back training with his Newcastle United teammates.

Now recovered from his broken leg, Ben Arfa was able to warm-up with the rest of the squad this morning before going off to work by himself once again.

Ben Arfa told the club's official website, nufc.co.uk: "It is great to back in Newcastle and back with the lads.

"I joined in with the warm-up this morning and managed to do a bit of light training on my own, and it was good to see the rest of the players after such a long time.

"I will be continuing to follow my rehabilitation programme now I am back in Newcastle, and would like to thank the fans for their support while I have been out injured.

"It has been a difficult period without football, but I am pleased with how my recovery has gone and look forward to pulling on a black and white shirt again and getting back onto the St James' Park pitch."
