Guthrie Injury Latest

09 December 2011 11:47
Newcastle's injury problems have deepened with the news Danny Guthrie is expected to be out for up to six weeks with a groin problem.

Fabricio Coloccini has an outside chance of being fit for Saturday's trip to Norwich but if he fails to make it then Pardew will be left without an established centre-half.

Utility man James Perch will definitely play while Tamas Kadar, Davide Santon and Danny Simpson are other options Pardew is considering.

Alan Pardew: "Danny Guthrie could be a four-to-six-week job and there's no Cheik (Tiote) this weekend so we really are up against it squad wise and it's important now that everybody plays their part."

Newcastle (from): Krul, Elliot, Simpson, R. Taylor, Santon, Ferguson, Perch, Cabaye, Gosling, Obertan, Ben Arfa, Sammy Ameobi, Abeid, Vuckic, Smith, Ba, Best, Shola Ameobi, Lovenkrands, Kadar, Gutierrez.
