Newcastle have confirmed that Joey Barton is set to be sidelined for up to eight weeks after damaging knee ligaments during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Wigan.
The midfielder limped out of the action at St James' Park with just 17 minutes on the clock, and left the stadium on crutches.
He then underwent a number of scans on Sunday to determine the severity of the problem, and has been left disappointed by the results.
The Magpies' medical staff have revealed that the 26-year-old suffered a slight tear to his right medial ligament during an innocuous challenge with Wigan's Lee Cattermole, an injury which is expected to keep him out of action for some time.
A club spokesman said: "After further assessment today following scans yesterday, he has damage to his right medial ligament and will be out for eight weeks."
