injuries confirmed it todays chronicle

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED have been rocked by a double injury blow ahead of their trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

 

On-loan Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood has sustained a foot injury in training, while key defender Steven Taylor was today facing a scan on a hamstring problem which could leave Chris Hughton with a major defensive headache at the City Ground.

 

Fabricio Coloccini (groin) is already in a race against time to be fit for Forest, and Hughton will be praying that defender Zurab Khizanishvili comes through Georgia’s World Cup qualifier with Bulgaria, a fixture where there won’t be any love lost.

 

Harewood was hoping to be back in training tomorrow after working with United’s medical team today.

 

And Hughton, who is without long-term injury victims Shola Ameobi and Joey Barton, is also hoping that Harewood is joined by Toon young gun Nile Ranger, who has been out with a virus.

 

He told the Chronicle: “We hope that Marlon is back in training on Thursday.

 

“Nile had a problem – a virus – in the week building up to it.

 

“Considering the virus he had, and that a few of the lads were poorly for that week, it was felt he needed a period of rest to overcome it.

 

“Nile was probably the worst one, but he’s on the way to recovery and we expect him to be OK for the weekend.”

 

The Football Association claim they are still waiting to hear from United why Ranger was pulled out of the England Under-19s squad for their European Championship qualifying tournament in Slovenia.

 

An FA spokesman said: “We are yet to receive an official explanation as to why Nile was withdrawn.”

According to a more recent article in the Journal Harewood and Taylor are both out, http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?showtopic=26001 although, as you say, it doesn't appear to be as bad as the rumours were suggesting.

Ah right. That really was a non-story in the Journal then.
