The striker was taken off late in Newcastle United’s 2-1 home defeat to Everton yesterday with a calf problem.

Defender Fabian Schar – who was on target in the Premier League game – felt his hamstring.

“We’ll have to see how Flo (Florian Lejeune) is, and it’s the same with Fab Schar,” said head coach Steve Bruce.

“He’s complaining of a hamstring. Big Jo is complaining of a calf as well.”
