Loads of Newcastle fans have been reacting to a promising update, as Florian Lejeune has returned to training.
Newcastle’s one major strong point this season has been their defence, and it’s about to get even stronger.
After injuring his knee in the summer, Lejeune has returned to training and could be fit first team action very soon.
He is not expected to take any part in this Monday’s clash against Burnley, but nonetheless it is great to see the Frenchman back in action.

The 27 year-old was relatively unheard of when he joined from Eibar last summer, but his partnership with Jamaal Lascelles was absolutely crucial in the Magpies’ excellent run of form to end the season.
Summer signings Federico Fernandez and Fabian Schar have both hit the ground running on Tyneside, so Rafael Benitez now has a depth of quality options at centre back.
You can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below, where fans can’t wait to see Lejeune back on the pitch…
