Gutierrez blow for Magpies
-
The turmoil on Newcastle continues unabated, as the club have been informed star winger Jonas Gutierrez is likely to be sidelined for a minimum of three weeks.
The 25-year-old picked up the injury on international duty and the Argentine FA has confirmed he has fractured his collarbone.
"Homero De Agostino, the doctor of the national team, confirmed that he checked Jonas Gutierrez, who has a little fracture in the right clavicle," a report on the AFA's website said.
"With the allowance of his club Newcastle, Jonas will stay in Buenos Aires to be treated by the national team's medical staff.
"He should rest for 20 days and will have the rehabilitation treatment under Dr De Agostino."
There had been fears that a shoulder dislocation could sideline Gutierrez for three months, but even a three-week layoff will come as a blow to The Magpies.
