Ramsey (thigh) remains unavailable for Saturday's Premier League clash against Aston Villa but could resume partial team training next week, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "With JJ it's a bit different. He's making progress. Hopefully next week he can join in partially in training and then we can build it from there."
Analysis:Ramsey continues to recover from a thigh injury that has kept him out of Newcastle's last two matches against Hull City and Coventry City. The midfielder is making progress toward his return and could resume partial team training next week, although he will need additional time to rebuild his match fitness. Ramsey has primarily operated as a substitute this season, and his eventual return would provide Newcastle with additional depth in midfield rather than an immediate starting option.
