Newcastle United manager Glenn Roeder has stated that Emre will be fit for Newcastle's next Premiership game against Bolton.

Emre picked up an ankle injury and liped off the field on 69 minutes in yestarday's 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford to United.

However, the Turkish international is not expected to be out long and should be fit to face Liverpool-beating Bolton in a fortnight.

Roeder said:

"Emre has sprained his ankle.

"The doctor doesn't think it's serious but we'll have a look at it on Monday just to make sure.

"Steve Harper has a slight groin strain as well but that's not too bad, so there are no real problems with the next game not until two weeks' time."
