Journalist Provides Update on DeAndre Yedlin's Knee Injury Suffered in Tottenham Defeat

Newcastle United full back DeAndre Yedlin could be facing a 'lengthy' spell on the sidelines following a knee injury he sustained against Tottenham on Saturday, according to The Chronicle's Chris Waugh.

The American international fell awkwardly after challenging for the ball with Ben Davies and is still being assessed by the Newcastle medical team.

It is known that the 25-year-old will miss the Magpies' next game against Cardiff, but it is increasingly looking like the player may miss significant time beyond that.

Waugh said: "The USA international is still being assessed by United, but there are fears he could face a lengthy absence - and Yedlin is a serious doubt for this weekend's trip to Cardiff City.
