Newcastle boss Howe puts Anderson on notice: He will play

Newcastle United youngster Elliot Anderson was told to get warmed up to come on in a recent Premier League game.

The Magpies were hoping to bring on the 20-year-old against Wolves when they were 1-0 up.

However, they were then pegged back, before going on to win the contest 2-1.

Asked about Anderson, per Chronicle Live, manager Eddie Howe said: "He's had a good couple of weeks in training, I'd say.

“I'm sure if you asked him, he'd say he's had a frustrating season to this point, because he's had a number of little niggly injuries, nothing serious, in the early part of the season which really restricted his time on the pitch.

"Now he's come back to full fitness, and he's been fit for a while, so he's now built that resilience in his body. He looks in a good place, he's certainly going to be needed, and he's going to get opportunities between now and the end of the season."
