Newcastle's Daryl Janmaat to miss clash with Swansea
Friday 15 April 2016 08:04, UK
Newcastle United have confirmed that defender Daryl Janmaat will miss Saturday's home game against Swansea City.
The Dutchman damaged his hand in a show of frustration - reportedly breaking two fingers as he punched a wall - after being substituted during last weekend's defeat at Southampton.
He has undergone treatment on his hand this week but he also suffered a groin problem during the Magpies' 3-1 reverse at St Mary's.
Janmaat has also been having treatment on that injury and as a result he has been ruled out of the visit of the Swans' to St James' Park.
A statement on Newcastle's official website read: "Janmaat will be unavailable for the Magpies' forthcoming fixture against Swansea at the weekend.
"He will be reviewed further next week and the club will provide an update in due course."
Newcastle are 19th in the Premier League table, six points adrift of safety with six games remaining.
