LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1455830,00.html Knee Scan For Injured Joey By Paul Tully MIDFIELDER Joey Barton faces a hospital scan on his right knee after leaving St. James' Park on crutches following the draw with Wigan Athletic Barton was injured by a Lee Cattermole tackle and left the action after just 16 minutes, with Danny Guthrie replacing him. Manager Joe Kinnear said: "Joey's got serious swelling of the knee and is on crutches. "He's going to hospital in the morning to have a scan. "We will find out how bad it is then. At the moment we don't really know how serious he is." No foul was given by referee Andre Marriner as Barton crumpled under the tackle in midfield, but Kinnear said: "Contact was made with the knee." The tackle wasn't shown on 'MOTD' highlights so I guess it showed Barton getting taken out by Cattermole (the BBC can't show anything that would show Barton as the victim). Big loss if the injury is serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Really hoping its nothing too serious. Our central midfield options are pretty woeful without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big loss if the injury is serious. Must admit I was expecting to see the incident and was surprised when it wasnt shown (when really, I guess I shouldnt have been surprised ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hope it's nothing too serious, we need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The tackle was robust, but not as bad as has been made out. He walked from the pitch and seemed to want to continue, so hopefully it won't be too serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 The tackle was robust, but not as bad as has been made out. He walked from the pitch and seemed to want to continue, so hopefully it won't be too serious. He stayed down though, clearly obvious he had hurt himself. Was somewhat surprised it took the best part of 5 mins to get Guthrie on the pitch (he'd already been jogging down towards the Gallowgate). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michaelfoster Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It was right in front of me, Barton went for a tackle, missed & jarred his knee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Got to be honest, when he first went down I assumed he was play acting to stop them countering. However he looked absolutely gutted he couldn't carry on which makes me worry it's serious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It looked to me like he wanted to get back on so I don't think he thought it was that serious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It looked to me like he wanted to get back on so I don't think he thought it was that serious. I'm a pro lip-reader and could see him mouthing to the physio "5 more minutes! tell them to wait. 5 more minutes". Guess Kinnear didn't want to take any risks and just threw Guthrie on anyway. Good choice imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been confirmed Joey has damaged the medial ligament in his right knee. He will be out for approximately eight weeks. Woohoo! Brilliant.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Time to go 433. Not sure what this injury will do to affect the 4-4-2 tbh. If it had been Duff injured, I think we might have done. All we'll see is Guthrie with Butt again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I would go 433 now and then spend big(ish) on a couple of midfielders in January. Got to be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
