Harvey Barnes <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Newcastle forward Harvey Barnes is facing \u201cmonths\u201d on the sidelines after picking up a \u201cvery unusual injury\u201d in the 8-0 win against Sheffield United.<\/p>\n
Barnes, who joined Newcastle from Leicester in a \u00a338m deal this summer, limped off after just 12 minutes of Sunday\u2019s victory at Bramall Lane and manager Eddie Howe now fears the 25-year-old will be ruled out for an extended period.<\/p>\n
Barnes has undergone a scan and Newcastle are now awaiting a specialist\u2019s opinion to determine if surgery is needed on what Howe described as a foot injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s difficult,\u201d Howe said. \u201cI don\u2019t want to put a time on it until we get confirmation from the specialist, but I think it will be months rather than weeks.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s an injury to a part of the foot just below the toe. I think it\u2019s quite a substantial injury.<\/p>\n
“I don\u2019t think it was a tackle, I think it was just pushing off to run, a very unusual injury.<\/p>\n
“I won\u2019t go too technical because I\u2019m not medically qualified to do so, but yes, very unusual.”<\/p>\n
