A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to a tweet from their club that contains a screenshot of Martin Dubravka’s Instagram post as he prepared for training.
He doesn’t look too happy in the image, but the caption claims that he ‘can’t wait’ for training.
The Slovakian was injured in the Toon’s last match against Southampton in March and was expected to be out until April, but the suspension of the league looks like it has allowed him to recover.
However, while some Newcastle fans are excited to see Dubravka, some are demanding answers on the proposed takeover.
Are you pleased to see Dubravka back?
Yes
No

What do we think?
The deal for Mike Ashley to sell the club to Amanda Staveley’s Saudi-backed consortium is currently with the Premier League going through the required checks.
Paul Smith, though, believes that the league are ‘very close’ to granting their approval.
So, we understand why many Toon fans want official confirmation.
However, we think it is good to see Dubravka back, considering he has made the most saves in the league this season, and if the season does get underway again, it will be good for the Toon to have the Slovakian available.
