Siem de Jong to return to Newcastle United training

Dutch midfielder Siem de Jong will resume training with Newcastle after recovering from a collapsed lung.

Siem de Jong is scheduled to resume training with Newcastle United on Thursday after recovering from a collapsed lung.

The Dutch midfielder was on the verge of returning from a four-month thigh-injury induced layoff when he suffered a collapsed lung for the second time in his career.

He will not be available to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, but has been given the thumbs up to intensify his rehabilitation.

De Jong has only played three times for the Magpies since his £6m summer arrival from Ajax, upon which he was immediately named vice-captain at St James' Park.
