The midfielder has endured almost two years of injury misery on
account of a persistent hamstring problem.
Newcastle felt they had finally got to the root of the problem over
the summer, but his return was delayed on account of a freak eye
injury picked up in training.
A 30-minute cameo against Portsmouth in the Carling Cup in October
signalled a return for Dyer and he showed his class with a dazzling
display against Arsenal.
He starred in the Premiership win over Portsmouth at the end of
November, but picked up a leg injury during the victory at St
James' Park.
The injury called a halt to Dyer's comeback, but he returned in the
win over Watford on Saturday and is looking forward to the rest of
the season.
"As strange as it might seem, I've actually been relieved with
these latest injuries," he told the club's official website.
"Don't get me wrong, I've been gutted to miss more games because of
them, my comeback has been stop-start so far, which has been
frustrating.
"But the thing is they have both been freak injuries, not physical
problems.
"It's been ridiculous and irritating but it's not been my
hamstrings.
"I'm just pleased there hasn't been the slightest twinge in my
hamstrings. I don't even think about them any more.
"My hamstrings have been the main problem for me for almost two
years but I've not had any trouble with them.
"I was finally given the time to get my body right and solve the
problem, that's the biggest relief.
"My body seems to be fine, hopefully my bad luck is also behind me
and I can get on with my career again."
