Obertan Out For A Month?

Gabriel Obertan could be out for a month!

The former Manchester United winger has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash with Everton with an infection in his toe.

Obertan’s fellow countryman Sylvain Marveaux is the prime candidate to replace him, while Danny Guthrie and Dan Gosling are more than capable of playing on the right-hand side of midfield. Alan Pardew: “Gabby is a really good player for Newcastle to have and I think he’s done fabulous for us so far and his presence has been part of an unbeaten start to the season. I am really, really happy with him. “On occasions you want to see him open his legs a bit more. But he has to get that fine line between when to attack and when to keep the ball. “Gabby is so quick sometimes it’s easy to expect him to be perfect in everything he does. “He is still learning because he’d only played 14 or 15 games when he came to us from Manchester United.”
