Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin has been passed fit to face Leicester at The King Power on Sunday.
Steve Bruce has confirmed that Yedlin has recovered from his injury and could play a part against Leicester in the Premier League this weekend.

Bruce now has Emil Krafth, Javier Manquillo and DeAndre Yedlin all available to play at right-back.
READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Should Yedlin start against Leicester?
No. Manquillo made his first start against Brighton last weekend and had a solid, albeit unimpressive, display. He needs a run of games to show what he can do, after Krafth failed to catch the eye in the first five games of the campaign.
If Manquillo fails to make his mark in the side, then Yedlin should be thrown in and given the opportunity to prove himself. Even if Bruce wanted to start Yedlin, he has been out for several months and putting him straight back into the team this weekend may be too soon for the American.
After what happened to Allan Saint-Maximin at the start of the season, the last thing Bruce will want to do is rush another player back from injury and cause further damage again.
