Defender ruled out for the rest of the season as Newcastle United suffer ANOTHER big injury blow
Republic or Ireland international Clark has been arguably United’s form defender this season, with the former Aston Villa man keeping the likes of Florian Lejeune and Fabian Schar out the Magpies XI, when fit.
But having limped off at Arsenal nearly a fortnight ago, following a reckless challenge by Bukayo Saka, Clark has damaged ankle ligaments and has been told, according to the Daily Star, that he will not play again in the 2019/20 campaign.
