Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has left the door open to keeping Isaac Hayden.

Hayden was left out of their Premier League squad in January.

Howe said, "Hopefully he is due to train next week. We'll look at him, judge his performances in training & see what happens from there. There is a lot of competition for places for next season but he has worked tirelessly and professionally to get very fit."

Howe also commented on the form of Miguel Almiron.

"The quality of the goal, it's an incredible finish & I'm so pleased for him. He's one of the hardest trainers. He got slightly overexcited but you'll excuse him that because every attacking player needs to produce. It was a brilliant moment."
