Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow is a major doubt for tonight’s Premier League match against Burnley, according to a report on the Chronicle Live.
The shot-stopper has reportedly injured his elbow during training and may not make the trip down to Lancashire.
Darlow is yet to start a Premier League game this season so his absence isn’t likely to affect Rafa Benitez and his plans too much.
The manager is settled on his first choice keeper Martin Dubravka, who has been impressive this season.
The severity of the injury suffered to Darlow is not yet known but Benitez will be hoping that he isn’t out for a lengthy period of time.
The second-choice keeper’s only senior appearance this season came in the 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat against Nottingham Forest.
The Magpies are looking to make it three league wins in succession against Burnley tonight at Turf Moor.
