Out between 3 and 7 weeks according to Pardew. Two broken bones in his back, gone back to Argentina.

Fuck sake.  Brings Williamson a step closer to the team and Taylor seems incapable of staying fit. 

 

It was also a rare treat to have 3 quality centre backs vying for a start and if we progress in Europe, it's going to take its with MYM and Taylor playing every game.

 

3-7 weeks, he's homesick and he's gone back to Argentina....  Something tells me it's going to be nearer the 7 mark :(

NEWCASTLE United captain Fabricio Coloccini could be out until May.

 

The defender is sidelined with a back problem suffered against Southampton last month.

 

Coloccini has flown back to his native Argentina to be with his family – but the defender’s expected to return to Tyneside next week.

 

United manager Alan Pardew – whose side face Anzhi Makhachkala in Moscow tonight – has allowed him to fly back to South America on compassionate leave to be with his wife and children while he recuperates.

 

Coloccini asked to leave the club in January because of what were described at the time as “personal matters”. The 31-year-old agreed to stay until at least the end of the season – and Pardew felt it was right that Coloccini was allowed to see his family in the circumstances.

 

Pardew’s hopeful he could be back in three weeks – but he’s prepared for the worst.

 

“Colo has gone back to Argentina,” Pardew told the Gazette. “There’s no treatment he can have – he’s broke two of the bones in his back.

 

“We think it’s going to be anything between three and seven weeks. He’s gone back for a week.”

 

Coloccini’s absence means a long run in the team for January signing Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, signed from Montpellier.

 

Meanwhile, striker Papiss Demba Cisse didn’t travel to Russia with his team-mates after being laid low with a virus, and that forced Pardew to bring Shola Ameobi, who he is reluctant to use on the Luzhniki Stadium’s artificial surface.

 

“It is a blow – I thought he’d be ideal for this surface,” said Pardew.

 

“It’s something we’ll have to overcome. It’s a virus, but the doc doesn’t think it’s going to kick in for too long.

 

“But we obviously need him to train on Friday to get some air in his lungs.

 

“It’ll probably eliminate Shola from Sunday (against Stoke City), if he plays. That wasn’t ideal. So it’s kind of worked out in a reverse way.

 

“Nevertheless we’ve got great players in this team.”

It was also a rare treat to have 3 quality centre backs vying for a start and if we progress in Europe, it's going to take its with MYM and Taylor playing every game.

 

3-7 weeks, he's homesick and he's gone back to Argentina....  Something tells me it's going to be nearer the 7 mark :(

 

Gonna be mint in the summer when we don't sign a CB and are back to square 1.

Exactly.  The injury prone Taylor completing half a season and Williamson floundering about like a carp on the river bank.  FFS.

Something seems bit suspicious here

 

 

Am not sure letting him spend 10 hours on planes is the best cure for a broken back but dont think its anything sinister tbh

Not sure you can fake broken bones so i don't doubt he has them. The article also says he's expected back next week in Newcastle.

 

The problem is he won't be available for selection for a while.
