Anthony Elanga has returned to Newcastle United group training this week and is pushing to be included in Sunday's match against Crystal Palace, according to Craig Hope. The winger had been sidelined with an injury since September, halting an impressive start to the campaign that featured goals against both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
