Newcastle star Jonjo Shelvey will visit a specialist in Barcelona this week in an attempt to resolve a recurring thigh problem.
The midfielder has been plagued by the injury for months, but after his thigh reportedly 'flared up' once again following the Magpies' 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Saturday, Shelvey will seek a specialist's diagnosis in a bid to end to his injury nightmare.
According to the Daily Mail, Shelvey will head to Spain in the coming days as his thigh continues to 'become inflamed following matches'. The seriousness of the problem is reportedly worrying the Magpies and the general opinion is the midfielder will 'miss more games than he plays' between now and the end of the season.
