Manager Eddie Howe may now be able to bring him back into his rearguard, even as soon as against Tottenham this weekend or in the Carabao Cup against Arsenal in the week.
In addition, Newcastle have received a boost regarding the fitness of defender Kieran Trippier.
The right-back and club captain had to come off during a 2-0 win over Manchester United.
Trippier had been fearing a longer absence due to the knock, but may now be back within days.
