Newcastle United goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has suffered a setback in his recovery from a foot injury.

The shot stopper is recovering from a heel problem, and it appears he may have to wait several months before he can play.

The Times reports doctors took a look at his heel after removing a protective moon boot from his foot.

The scans showed there was still damage, and it appears he will not be back sooner than December.

Dubravka had gone two and a half years without missing a game in the Premier League before this injury.

Newcastle fans will be hoping he is back soon.
