Newcastle United boss John Carver says Siem de Jong will be fit for preseason.
The midfielder had hoped to be back from a collapsed lung before the end of the campaign.
But boss John Carver has revealed the Dutch international will miss the remaining 11 games.
Carver said: "Siem will be back in pre-season. It's one of those we just need to test the water with and see how he is.
"I've said from the start there's definitely no pressure on him."
