Sven Botman has undergone surgery on a facial fracture after a collision with Sunderland forward Brian Brobbey in the Tyne-Wear derby. He faces a spell out, though he is expected to be back in the closing weeks of the campaign.
The club said in a statement that the operation was successful and that he was substituted under concussion protocol during the second half at St James' Park.

The derby setback added to a bruising week for Newcastle, who were beaten 7-2 by Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.
