[Newcastle United](https://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com) got a great update ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace, with Joe Willock and Lewis Miley both avoiding injuries and set to be included in Eddie Howe’s squad, according to [Craig Hope of the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14137359/NEWCASTLE-CONFIDENTIAL-Toon-eye-new-Viktor-Gyokeres-ex-Sunderland-boss-given-key-role-young-stars-development.html).
Miley, who was absent from the 2–0 defeat against West Ham on Monday, is fit and ready for selection. The 18-year-old’s omission from the squad sparked fears of a possible injury setback, but sources told Hope that Howe chose to prioritize an additional attacking option instead.
With Bruno Guimaraes nursing a glute issue and uncertain for the trip to South London, Miley’s availability offers Newcastle a valuable midfield option.
Meanwhile, Joe Willock, who was substituted at halftime during Monday’s match with a suspected knock to his leg, has also been given the all-clear, per Hope.
The midfielder has participated in training this week and will be ready to feature at Selhurst Park if Howe chooses so.
The gaffer’s decision to substitute Willock was seemingly precautionary, and the player’s quick recovery will be a significant boost to a Newcastle side looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats.
