Rolando Aarons has revealed his frustration after suffering a fitness setback this week.

The Newcastle United winger is expected to be in the squad for the FA Cup third round trip to Watford.

But his prospects of a long run out at Vicarage Road have been affected by two postponements this week.

United were due to take on Everton in the Under-21 Premier League Cup in Southport on Monday.

And a behind closed doors friendly with Hartlepool was also called off due to the wet weather this week.

Aarons, speaking to NUFC TV, said: “It was frustrating to go all the way to Southport and then be told it was off when we were 10 minutes away.

“Then we had a friendly arranged the next day and that was called off as well.

“It wasn’t meant to be but I’m happy to be back fit and available to play games.

“I have been out a long time and injuries play on your mind a bit, so it’s just nice to be back with the boys, travelling and getting used to away trips again.

“The whole of 2015 was pretty hard for me obviously because I didn’t really get a lot of games, I wasn’t available a lot and when I was, I wasn’t really playing as much.”

And Aarons admits the lack of a run out could affect his chances at Watford.

He said: “It would have been nice to have played the 45 minutes I was meant to play against Everton but it wasn’t meant to be.

“I hope I can get a few minutes out against Watford and take it from there.

“I have never played in the FA Cup so it would be good to get a chance.”
