Newcastle United youngster Sean Longstaff is set to meet with a knee specialist this week, to determine the extent of the injury he suffered against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
The 21-year-old is arguably the most promising player to emerge from the Magpies' academy in years, and has been a real bright spark in what has been a tricky campaign for the north east side. Longstaff injured his knee in a robust challenge with Hammers midfielder Robert Snodgrass last weekend, and was seen leaving the London Stadium on crutches.
According to the Daily Mail, the initial scans of the midfielder's posterior cruciate ligament appeared to be positive, with no indication of a rapture - a severe injury that can see players sidelined for months.
