Newcastle forward Peter Lovenkrands has revealed that off the field issues have prevented him from playing as much as he would like.

The Dane agreed a three-year deal at St James' Park on transfer deadline day.

Lovenkrands had finished last season with Newcastle, but then had rebuffed their initial offer of a contract before signing in August.

But he has been limited to just three league starts and he admits personal problems have got to him.

"You of course want to play more games, but I have had a few personal family problems lately. And I've missed a few games because of these," Lovenkrands told Onside.

"But now things should be back on track, so I can focus on football again.

"I hope that this will lead to more games that I start, but I will take it nice and easy and see what happens."

Lovenkrands is happy to see things going so well on the pitch.

"It looks good now," he said,

"But there are many games in The Championship, and a lot can happen if you get in to a bad run."
