Newcastle United Hit With Another Injury Blow

Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul out for season with knee injury. Tim Krul, who sustained the injury playing for Holland will not appear again until next season and in the short term at least his absence can only be compounded by the fact that Karl Darlow, his deputy, is still some weeks away from returning from an ankle problem.

 Rob Elliot, Newcastle’s third-choice keeper will be in goal against Norwich City at St James’ Park on Sunday.

Newcastle United currently seats at the bottom of the Premier League table and they have 13 senior professionals on the treatment table, they top the division’s injury charts.

The other players in the injury list are;

GK- Tim Krul(knee),

GK- Karl Darlow(ankle problem),

RB- Daryl Janmaat (knee),

CB- Steven Taylor(hamstring),

CB- Paul Dummett (hamstring),

LB- Massadio Haïdara (knee)

CMF- Jack Colback (hamstring),

LW- Sylvain Marveaux (groin),

RW- Gabriel Obertan (hamstring),

CF- Emmanuel Rivière (knee),

LW- Rolando Aarons (calf),

CB- Curtis Good (hip).

Newcastle could put together this XI from their binjured players. No other Premier League team has more than eight injuries at the moment.
