Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez will anxiously await the results of a scan on Jonjo Shelvey's knee this week after the midfielder suffered an injury at Bournemouth.
The Magpies have confirmed that the 26-year-old, who has produced some of his best form for the club in recent weeks, was hurt during Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw at the Vitality Stadium.
A statement released on the club's website, www.nufc.co.uk, read: 'Jonjo Shelvey suffered a knee injury during Saturday's draw at AFC Bournemouth. The midfielder will be further assessed and scanned this week.'
Shelvey, a £12million signing from Swansea in January 2016, has made 23 appearances for the club to date this season and was a central figure in their 1-0 win over Manchester United on February 11.
