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
