Sylvain Marveaux is facing at least three months on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old is set for an operation after hurting his groin in the game against Everton.

Marveaux missed most of last season at Rennes with an abdominal injury.He failed a medical at Liverpool before signing for Newcastle on a free transfer in the summer.Marveaux was handed his first start against Everton earlier this month in the absence of Gabriel Obertan.However, Marveaux’s full league debut lasted just 54 minutes.Alan Pardew: “Sylvain’s going to need an operation, so we think he’s going to be certainly (out) for three months.“You know how hard he’s had to work to get where he’s at. It’s a setback for him, and there’s real sympathy within the group.“It’s probably the biggest blow we’ve had this season.”
