Newcastle boss Eddie Howe insists a new midfield addition isn't on their January agenda.
Howe was asked if they will be signing a No6 as cover for the suspended Sandro Tonali.
He told Chronicle Live: "No, that is not where my mind is at. We recruited a midfield player in the summer to give us competition for places in that area.
"Unfortunately we have lost him for a period of time so that is something that we could not necessarily control. As I say, regarding FFP being a big part of our January and our future because it's not going away.
"FFP is going to be here for a long, long time. We have to try to navigate that and be very careful with what we do."
