Siem de Jong returns to Newcastle United training

Newcastle United midfielder Siem de Jong has returned to training following two months out with a thigh injury.

The Dutchman, 25, suffered the problem back in September after joining the club in the summer from Ajax.

De Jong is now edging closer to a first-team return for the Magpies, who have won their last five games in the Premier League.
