The Magpies host Bournemouth looking to build on their rampant win at West Ham.

And Bruce looks set to be boosted by the return of the Frenchman, out since April with a knee injury.

Lejeune tweeted: “Yesterday was the last time I played for the reserves before coming back with the group. Thank you to all my teammates, can't wait to be back #readynow.”
