Fabricio Coloccini says Newcastle United can qualify for Europe without him.

The Magpies skipper is likely to miss the next two games after the results of a scan revealed a Grade 1 tear.United have pencilled in a return date for Easter Monday against Bolton but James Perch and Mike Williamson will form a makeshift defensive partnership for this Sunday’s clash with Liverpool, and Good Friday’s trip to South Wales to tackle Swansea City.Coloccini: “The manager has said we have to be calm, and keep going, and that is my message as well.“I would love to captain this team in Europe. Qualifying for Europe is very important for the fans.“And it’s very important for the club and the players.“Now we are eight points ahead of Liverpool, which is good.“That is good, and now we’re looking at Chelsea. We will try to pass them. We have eight games left, and we have to give everything if we are to take fifth place.”
