NEWCASTLE full-back Matt Targett has provided an update on the "bizarre" injury he suffered during a match against Manchester United.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old was forced off just five minutes into the Carabao Cup clash with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Eddie Howe gave an update on his condition earlier this week, admitting: "It\u2019s not going to be a short-term fix for Matt.<\/p>\n
"He\u2019ll be out for, I\u2019d probably say around three months but that\u2019s a rough estimate.<\/p>\n
"It\u2019ll be around that figure regardless of whether he has surgery or not."<\/p>\n
Targett took to social media on Wednesday to confirm that he is now "on the mend" following surgery.<\/p>\n
He wrote: "Still finding it hard to get my head around the injury\u2026 felt so good going into the United game!!<\/p>\n "Completely bizarre injury to happen in a couple minutes of the game! Surgery went well yesterday so I\u2019m on the mend. Determined to come back better then ever."<\/p>\n Targett has been limited to just seven appearances across all competitions so far this season.<\/p>\n But he is now set to be unavailable until the new year.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n In another huge injury blow to Newcastle, Dan Burn has also been ruled out for several months.<\/p>\n The defender was forced off during Saturday's 1-0 win over Arsenal.<\/p>\n Howe has since confirmed that he suffered a spine injury.<\/p>\n He said: "Dan will be out for some time I think.
