Will Osula and Amar Dedic have been pictured preparing for Newcastle United training ahead of the Premier League resumption.
Both players were sidelined going into the three-week international break. While Dedic made an instant impression until suffering a hamstring injury, Osula has not kicked a ball since the opening day against Liverpool.
Bosnia and Herzegovina manager Sergej Babarez set Dedic a four-week timeline to return last month. As for Osula, it was feared he could struggle to make a return for the Coventry City trip.

Matthias Jaissle on injuries
Matthias Jaissle told reporters on Thursday that “three to four” players are expected to be back in action as Newcastle resume their top-flight campaign away to Coventry. He said: “For now we hope that three, four players are ready to be in the squad. I think Joe you saw already when you had the opportunity to watch the training session last week.
“He was partially involved there, he's now progressing, he's doing better and better. This is something I can tell you because you saw it, but also one of the others are coming back definitely.
“This is helpful for sure but we need to be smart as well in the load management. They have the potential to be in the squad but for sure not in the starting 11.”
