Newcastle youngster Miley suffers fractured fibula

  /  autty

Newcastle United will be without youngster Lewis Miley for the rest of their campaign after he sustained a fractured fibula.

Miley has made 34 appearances, with 20 of those being starts, across all competitions this term.

He has scored three goals and set up a further four.

However, his campaign is now over, though Newcastle are confident the 20-year-old will return to action ahead of pre-season.

A club statement added Miley will "travel to a specialist consultant on Wednesday before continuing his rehabilitation with the club’s medical team".

Miley suffered the injury in training.

Newcastle have had an underwhelming season, though they did beat Brighton last weekend to snap a four-game losing run in the Premier League. 

Eddie Howe's team sit 13th on 45 points, six off the European places.

Newcastle face Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Fulham before the season is out.
