Newcastle United have been hit by a big blow with Jonjo Shelvey ruled out for up to eight weeks.
The midfielder has suffered a calf injury and the estimated return date is between six and eight weeks leaving Eddie Howe a man down in his engine room. Shelvey had barely just returned from a hamstring injury suffered in pre-season when he limped off against Benfica in a 3-2 defeat.
But following his absence at Leicester for today's clash in the Premier League, it emerged he has endured a fresh injury blow. The Shelvey news was followed by confirmation that England international Callum Wilson was absent due to an illness.
