Rondón sustains thigh injury

Salomón Rondón will miss Saturday's match against Leicester City after sustaining a thigh injury during last weekend's draw at Crystal Palace.

The Venezuelan striker, who is on a season-long loan from West Bromwich Albion, was withdrawn from the match at Selhurst Park at half time.

Rondón is undergoing treatment with the Magpies' medical team and further assessment of the extent of the injury will be made in due course.
