David Seaman claims Kieran Trippier needing an operation on his broken metatarsal is a 'problem' for Newcastle United.
The Magpies right-back has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks after hobbling off the field of play in Newcastle's win over Aston Villa.
Seaman believes Eddie Howe's side will come away from their clash with West Ham this weekend sharing the spoils, but admits Trippier's absence will be felt.
