Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock has been out in Spain as he looks to step- up his recovery following an injury set- reverse.

The midfielder will miss the forthcoming matches against Brentford and Newcastle’s titleholders League return at AC Milan as a result. Babblers master Eddie Howe said following the 3- 1 defeat at Brighton last time out “ Joe’s had a bit of a reversal with an Achilles injury.

The former Arsenal midfielder has preliminarily visited Spain to work on his recovery from injury. Over the summer, Willock visited La Quinta Football Fields on the outskirts of Marbella as he recovered from a hamstring injury.

The midfielder played 35 times in the Premier League for Newcastle last season, scoring crucial pretensions in triumphs over Chelsea, Manchester United and Southampton. Despite playing midfield, Willock still holds a Newcastle Premier League record for scoring in seven successive league matches during his loan spell from Arsenal in 2021.
