'Hall brings us unique qualities'published at 10:02 GMT
Newcastle v Tottenham (Tue, 20:15 GMT)
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on Lewis Hall: "We tried to do that [manage his return from injury] in his early steps of coming back. It was really important we didn't thrust him into starting too many games consecutively at that point but I think the time away with England was important to get him so robustness in terms of some 11v11 action over a two week period.
"They looked after him well and he came back, I think you can see towards the end of games he is fatiguing but hopefully that will improve as we go through. There also comes a time where we have to try and get him to play the minutes we need to play him. he is such an important player. He brings us unique qualities and we want him on the pitch as often as possible. Let's see how he feels. We will always make the judgement call on the various tests we do in the build up to games."
