Scott
Newcastle have suffered another major injury blow with the news that Scott Parker faces up to over a month on the sidelines.
The former Chelsea midfielder missed Monday's draw with Middlesbrough and it has now been discovered he is struggling with a knee problem.
Parker actually sustained the injury against West Ham last month, but played through the pain barrier against Tottenham last weekend.
Tests have shown the full extent of the knee injury and Parker will be forced to undergo surgery on the problem.
It is expected that the tough-tackling midfielder will be missing for between three and five weeks.
The injury is another of a long list of problems to affect Graeme Souness' side.
Michael Owen joined the long-term casualties last week after a breaking a bone in his foot in the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.
Souness has been unable to field his strongest side this season due to injuries and Parker now joins Owen, Kieron Dyer and Emre on the treatment table at St James' Park.
