Newcastle United crock Steven Taylor won't put a date on his return from injury.

Taylor is out for the season with an Achilles setback.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "I'm absolutely devastated.

"I've been here before with my shoulder injury, and I'm just focused on working hard and getting back after the operation.

"I've just got to get myself fit again.

"There's no time limit, I'll be ready when I'm ready.

"There's no point rushing it - I've just got to make sure I'm right."
