Gosling comeback begins

11 January 2011 14:00
Newcastle midfielder Dan Gosling will take his first step on the road towards a first-team comeback with a friendly appearance on Wednesday. The 20-year-old joined United from Everton in the summer, but has yet to play a minute for them owing to a cruciate ligament injury he picked up while he was with the Toffees. But he will line-up against Hibs at the club`s training ground, hoping to put himself in manager Alan Pardew`s thoughts. He told his club`s official website, www.nufc.co.uk: "I`ve been looking forward to a game for a few months now so I can`t wait. Hopefully I`ll get a good run out and we`ll take it from there. "The snow has halted my progress lately, but I feel good now. Hopefully I can get a good run-out on Wednesday, push on from there and see what the gaffer`s thoughts are."
