A lot of Newcastle United fans have replied to pictures released by their club ahead of the Toon’s match with Crystal Palace.
Newcastle showed images of Dwight Gayle, Yoshinori Muto, and Javier Manquillo in training as they all prepare to come back from injuries.
Gayle has been missing since he was substituted off against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 11th of January.
Who will make a bigger impact for Newcastle?
Gayle
Muto
Manquillo
Muto has not played since the FA Cup third-round tie with Rochdale and Manquillo has been missing since the Toon were hammered 3-0 by Leicester City on New Year’s Day.
These images have led to a few Toon fans mocking these players for their lack of goals.

What do we think?
Gayle and Muto have not scored a single Premier League goal this season – so it is hard to see what their return will do.
The return of Manquillo, however, could be important as the Spaniard was in fine form in December, receiving praise from his manager.
As soon as the former Liverpool man is fit, Valentino Lazaro could be moved further up the pitch after he made a mistake for Arsenal’s second goal (1:22) in the Toon’s 4-0 defeat to Arsenal.
