Newcastle boss Benitez: Almiron ready to start

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is happy with what he's seen from new signing Miguel Almiron.

Benitez could be tempted to hand record signing Almiron his full debut next weekend against Huddersfield, despite him struggling to shine during their Costa Blanca friendly against CSKA Moscow.

After the 1-1 draw, Benitez said: "It could be perfect if he starts,' said Benitez.

"It also could be perfect to play him in the last 10 minutes and score the winning goal. We will find a solution. We have time to train and decide."
