Massadio Haidara Injury Latest
Written by Newcastle Utd
Following scans, the Club can confirm that Massadio Haidara has very fortunately escaped significant bone or ligament damage following injury at Wigan
We can confirm that results of the latest scan on Massadio Haidara show that the player has very fortunately escaped any significant bone or ligament damage following the dangerous tackle by Wigan Athletic's Callum McManaman on Sunday.
We are very pleased that the extent of his injury is less severe than first feared and is limited to bruising to the bone and soft tissue damage.
Depending on the speed of his recovery he should be fit to play again in early April.
Massadio will continue to be assessed over the coming days. He has been very lucky that he has not suffered more serious injury and this positive diagnosis in no way lessens the Club's views with regard to the severity of the tackle from which it resulted.
