Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes Out For Three Months After Picking Up Foot Injury
Newcastle winger, Harvey Barnes has been ruled out for three months after picking up a foot injury.
The 25-year-old limped off after 12 minutes of Sunday’s 8-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.
A scan showed Barnes has not suffered a fracture and manager Eddie Howe made it known that he does not require surgery.
“It is an injury underneath his toe and he’s now started his recovery,” said the Newcastle manager.
Barnes joined from Leicester in July for £38m and has made two starts in the Premier League for the Magpies and scored one goal.
Howe added: “I think he’s going to be quite sedate for a period of time because he’s got to rest the toe, he’s got to give it every chance to recover.
“We’ll have to build him up slowly, so that’s why it’s the three months.“
Newcastle host Burnley at St James’ Park in the top flight on Saturday after beating Treble winners Manchester City in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.
