Former Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas says Kieran Trippier's injury must be a concern for the club.
He wrote for BBC Sport: "It would be disastrous for Newcastle if Kieran Trippier's foot injury is serious - yes, he is already that important to them.
"Hopefully the problem he suffered in Sunday's win against Aston Villa is just a bit of bone bruising and it will only be a couple of weeks until he's back in action, because any longer and the effects of his absence would run deeper than just a talented individual missing a few games.
"Trippier has obviously scored a couple of excellent goals for Newcastle this week, but there's a much bigger picture to what he has brought to the club since joining last month than just his brilliant free-kicks.
"As well as his ability, I'm talking about his personality - and the impact he has had on his team-mates to help them start to turn around the situation they are in."
