Newcastle boss Benitez: Almiron ready for full debut

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez says he could give Miguel Almiron a full debut against Huddersfield.

Benitez says his new boy has delivered everything he expected in training including pace, stamina and movement.

Benitez said: "Is he ready? I think so. It's another important decision to make because all of them in this position too, we have enough players and all of them are training well."

The Newcastle chief has also backed keeper Martin Dubravka "100 per cent", after his recent trials.

Dubravka made an error against Spurs, and was fouled in the last minute against Wolves as Wily Boly equalised.
