Alberto Luque, who signed for Newcastle for £9.5m last month from Deportivo La Coruna, has been ruled out of action for up to six weeks after he was stretchered off the field during yesterday's 1-1 draw at home to Fulham.
The player was forced to leave the field in the first half of his second game for the club, and Toon boss Graeme Souness said:
"It is a proper one - he said he felt it was like a knife. It's what Bob Paisley would have called a 'six-weeker'."
