Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe must wait longer for Jamal Lewis' return.
Against Manchester United tonight, Howe will be without the services of Northern Ireland international Lewis, who suffered a hamstring injury during last week's defeat at Liverpool.
The full back is likely to miss the rest of United's fixtures in 2021, with a January return looking the most likely scenario for the former Norwich City man.
"I don't think it will be too long. It's not a major injury, but I think it will be enough to keep him out of the festive period and some games into early January," revealed Howe.
"Usually with a hamstring strain you're looking at minimum of three to four weeks, and that's probably where he'll be."
