Newcastle have been dealt an injury blow after it was confirmed that Jamaal Lascelles has suffered a stress fracture in his foot.
The injury could keep the 27-year-old out for the remainder of the 2020/21 campaign and supporters have been reacting.
Newcastle’s captain has endured an inconsistent campaign with a number of injury and illness problems picked up.
At this crucial stage of the campaign, however, this latest setback is arguably the worst of the bunch.
The former Nottingham Forest defender has proved a loyal servant to the Magpies over the years.
Since arriving he has played 187 times for the club, scoring 12 goals and claiming four assists.
His defending has been pretty impressive and at times he has led the team by example on the pitch.
Given that Newcastle are yet to secure their Premier League status for next season, Lascelles will surely be a big miss.
Here is a look at what Magpies supporters have had to say about the £40,000-a-week player’s latest injury blow.
