:lol: I swear our doctor's just guess at how long players will be out for.

 

Also, from the same article:

 

"Sources close to the player have revealed that he has been booked in for a hernia operation later in the week if, as expected, he is not ready for a return. Club medical staff have been told that he could recover from that operation within two weeks.

 

Barring any further setbacks it is better news for United boss Joe Kinnear, who will also be boosted by the return of Joey Barton and Alan Smith to training next week. The pair have been pencilled in to return to first-team duty before the end of the month"

 

Being selfish, I say get him in for the op now so he's back for the mackems

Martins’ agent lays into Magpies medics

 

 

OBAFEMI Martins’ agent has branded Newcastle’s medical staff “woeful”, and claimed the striker’s hernia problem was only spotted after he travelled to Italy to see a specialist.

 

After missing the last threeand- a-half weeks with an injury sustained during last month’s 3-0 victory at Portsmouth, Martins will be examined again tomorrow to see if he is fit enough to resume full training.

 

If he is, he could make the substitutes’ bench for Saturday’s home game with West Ham, but if he isn’t, he will be booked in for surgery at the end of the week.

 

An operation would sideline him for around a fortnight, and leave Magpies manager Joe Kinnear with just two fit strikers for this month’s crucial relegation battles with West Ham and Blackburn.

 

Andy Carroll, who spent most of last season on loan at Preston, played alongside Michael Owen in last weekend’s FA Cup tie at Hull, with Kinnear unable to name a recognised centre-forward on the bench.

 

Martins’ return would guarantee a much-needed alternative, but the striker’s agent, Dapo Kujore, has claimed his client would be fit already if Newcastle’s medical staff had identified his hernia injury earlier.

 

“The Newcastle medical staff are woeful,” said Kujore.

 

“Oba has been having this problem on and off and they failed to spot it.

 

“It was only when he went to Italy that the correct diagnosis was made, and he will have the operation this week.

 

“Look at the entire team.

 

(Mark) Viduka is injured, Alan Smith is injured, Nicky Butt is injured, and so many players. Even when (Alan) Shearer was playing, how many times did he end up on the treatment table?”

 

Newcastle’s medical staff are hopeful Martins will be able to avoid the need for an operation, as a similar course of rest and recuperation will enable Joey Barton to return to full training on Monday.

 

It was initially feared Barton would require surgery when he crumpled under the challenge of Wigan midfielder Lee Cattermole on November 15, but the England international will return to training at the start of next week and could even be involved in the trip to Blackburn on January 17.

 

The same is true of fellow long-term absentee Alan Smith, who has not made a single senior appearance this season because of a longstanding Achilles injury.

 

Smith will also train at the start of next week, although a first-team return is likely to remain some way off as his fitness levels will have dropped significantly following the latest lay-off.

 

Ironically, Smith is one of the players who could be offloaded this month as Kinnear attempts to raise funds during the current window.

 

But the Magpies manager’s plans have been hit by confirmation that he is unable to sell Spanish misfit Xisco because of FIFA regulations.

 

FIFA rules prevent any player from playing for three different clubs during the course of a single season.

 

The £5.8m signing from Deportivo la Coruna is almost certain to remain on Tyneside for the second half of the season, and Kinnear remains committed to ensuring Shay Given stays with him despite the goalkeeper’s much-publicised unease.

 

Kinnear is hoping Given will still be a Newcastle player on February 2, but Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc has emerged as a possible replacement for the Irishman.

"Smithy and Joey Barton will be back in training next week and they could be back in two to three weeks, which would be another boost for us. Smithy is out jogging now but he’s getting a bit closer now."

Finally, will be like a new signing.

NEWCASTLE United can confirm that Obafemi Martins will travel to Germany to undergo a hernia operation on Monday.

 

This will be performed by Dr Ulrike Muschaweck and it is hoped the striker will be able to return to action within a couple of weeks following surgery.

 

Oba has also distanced himself from criticism of the Club's medical staff in reports that have appeared in various media outlets.

 

He said: "I wish to make it perfectly clear that I have never criticised the medical team at Newcastle United, who all do an excellent job for the Club.

 

"All I am concentrating on is getting fit again as soon as possible so I can be back playing and helping the team."

 

Dr Muschaweck has operated on a number of Newcastle United players past and present over the years, including Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Shay Given and Steve Harper.

It says on SSN he will only be out for two weeks.

 

Hope so but we were told he'd only miss 2 games to start with. He's missed 4 so far.

This Dr Ulrike Muschaweck is good but it really depends on Martins.

 

IIRC Stevie Carr and Shearer both had the same operation by her in the same week a few years ago, Shearer was back in 2 weeks but Carr took a good 6 weeks.

She sorted Micky Owen out not so long ago as well.

http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2009/01/07/obafemi-martins-could-be-fit-to-take-on-hammers-61634-22622730/

 

May be back this weekend, might not need the op afterall.

 

 

He's going for the operation on Monday mate.

 

"Sources close to the player have revealed that he has been booked in for a hernia operation later in the week if, as expected, he is not ready for a return."

 

Looks like they're gonna play it by ear tomorrow first.
