Harvey Barnes – who joined Newcastle for £38m in the summer from Leicester – is facing three months out though injury, but Eddie Howe has pointed out the silver lining.
Eddie Howe points out ‘positive’ for Newcastle star Harvey Barnes as injury lay-off revealedNewcastle boss Eddie Howe has told summer signing Harvey Barnes he will still have a key role this season despite seeing him ruled out until the new year.
Asked how England international Barnes had taken the news, Howe said: “He’s a very stable, level lad; he’s a great character. Barnes was sent for a scan after going down just 12 minutes into the game at Bramall Lane – just his second start for the club – and although that examination confirmed there is no fracture and that surgery is not required to repair damage under his toe, his foot has been placed in a protective boot and his recovery will take some time.
“I think he knew straight away. You could see him go down on the pitch – it’s very unusual to see that. He said he knew straight away that he had a problem. In the short term, Howe’s focus will be on Saturday’s league clash with promoted Burnley at St James’ Park and the task of extending a four-game unbeaten run in all competitions with a squad feeling the after-effects of Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup third round win over Manchester City.
