Manager Alan Pardew is without many of his first team players. Ryan Taylor is out with a knee injury while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Davide-Santon-c10658 the
only natural full back available for selection.
Luckily for the Magpies, they have versatile Dutch player http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vurnon-Anita-c36486 to count on, who played as right back in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. The player has been called upon to serve as the club’s emergency right back till most of the players return.
During the international break, Newcastle saw more players join the injured out on the sidelines. Defender and captain Fabricio Coloccini pulled out of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 squad following a thigh strain and first choice goalkeeper Tim Krul sustained an elbow injury
while training with the Dutch national squad.
Cheick Tiote has also been out of the team after the defensive midfielder picked up a knock in the opening game against Tottenham Hotspur.
With so many players not available for contention, new signing Gael Bigirimana has said that he is ready to step up and fill the void for Newcastle. The defensive midfielder was signed from Coventry City in the summer and is understood to be highly rated
by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew.
Speaking to local newspapers, he said:
"I know things are going well, but there will be hard times, and I love going through hard times. That’s a test of character. I’m just blessed with good people around me.”
"I love making the fans happy, and leaving them with something to cheer about. They pay their money to watch us, so I always want to make sure I give 100 per cent.”
“It’s good for the fans who pay to support the club. I’m just grateful to be in this position. They’re great fans.”
