Joey Barton ready for Newcastle return


Joey Barton is ready to give Newcastle United a massive boost - by declaring himself fit for a first-team return in the next couple of weeks.

Midfield dynamo Barton is due to see a specialist about his broken leg today and hopes to get the all clear to resume training by the end of the week.

Barton's influence has been sorely missed as Joe Kinnear's side tumble back into the drop zone - and the player is desperate to contribute after a nightmare campaign.

Kinnear needs Barton back in his side as the survival fight begins in earnest - and with cash tight as he looks around for reinforcements.
