Newcastle United defender Florian Lejeune has vowed to bounce back after suffering a knee injury against Crystal Palace.
The Frenchman has suffered a second major injury this term after missing a large chunk of the campaign with a knee problem in pre-season.
But after being carried off against the Eagles, Lejeune has opened up on his ordeal.
He posted a message on Instagram that read: "After medical examination, the injury I suffered during the last game is an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
"It's the same problem I had few months back but on the other knee.
"I'll have surgery and as I did before, I will make my best to come back stronger.
"Thank you all for your support."
A club statement this morning read: "Florian has been ruled out for the remainder of the current season and further updates on his recovery will be provided in due course."
Did Rafa Benitez hold any fresh contract talks on Saturday? Why was John Carver back at St James'?
