Newcastle boss Carver furious with Senegalese FA antics

Newcastle United boss John Carver is furious with the behaviour of the Senegalese FA.

The Toon lost contact with Papiss Cisse after Senegal were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations.

"We've been trying to get in touch with him and it hasn't been easy," Carver explained. "I have spoken to his agent and I have left a message with Papiss.

"Lee Charnley (managing director) has spoken to the Senegalese FA and they have not been very helpful. There is a group of clubs with their players who have got together to put a plane on to bring them back. Southampton, West Ham and Stoke are also trying to get their players back."

Carver hopes to have Cisse available for their clash with Hull City.
