Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson has been handed a massive boost by the news of the fitness of midfielder Kieron Dyer who has been plagued by hamstring problems and has not featured for the Toon since an injury against Mallorca earlier in March.

DYER BOOST

Dyer manager 70 minutes of reserve action on Tuesday night away at Darlington, and Sir Bobby is hoping that he will be fully fit in time for the weekend's game against Everton.
"Dyer has a chance for Saturday and to tell the truth he was nearly fit for Sunday's game at Bolton," said Robson.
"But he hasn't had any training at all and that's the problem. If he had played at Bolton he would have gone into a match without any training or preparation of any sort.
"So we could not have done that because if he had played at Bolton he could have come out of the match with another problem with his hamstring.
"He needs a full week of training which he will get this week. We will test his hamstring out in training and if he is free then he will be up for selection."
