Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has been ruled out of action for around four months, adding to the Premier League club's already lengthy injury list.
Pope dislocated his shoulder during Newcastle's 1-0 win over Manchester United at the weekend with Martin Dubravka coming on for the final four minutes at St James' Park.
And manager Eddie Howe revealed on Tuesday that the England international will need an operation on the injury, becoming the latest key player to be ruled out of action for the Magpies.
The 31-year-old joins the likes of Dan Burn, Sven Botman, Jacob Murphy, Callum Wilson, Elliot Anderson, Sean Longstaff, Joe Willock and Havery Barnes in the treatment room, while Sandro Tonali is suspended until next summer.
