Another famous player suffered an injury - after recently losing Z. Zidane, J. Saviola, and R. Keane from the team, now the same fate has befallen striker Alberto Luque.
However, the Spaniard will not be out the longest - his tendon injury is so serious that the Spanish national team member will not be able to play for about two months.
A. Luque suffered the injury in Saturday's match in London against Fulham, which ended in a 1-1 draw, and on Monday, after undergoing tests and consulting doctors, it was revealed that the player will be unable to play for 8 to 10 weeks.
The 27-year-old Spaniard, who transferred from Deportivo La Coruña to Newcastle for a sum of £9.5 million at the end of the summer, left the field on a stretcher with 10 minutes remaining in the first half.
Newcastle is currently facing an injury crisis - Kieron Dyer, Emre Belozoglu, Craig Moore, Michael Chopra, and Steven Taylor are all unable to play.
