​Newcastle defender Mbemba doubtful for Swansea trip

Newcastle United face a major concern regarding Chancel Mbemba's fitness ahead of the clash against Swansea City.

Mbemba featured during DR Congo's 2-2 draw against Tunisia on Tuesday and hobbled off the pitch on the 59th minute of the game due to injury.

There has been speculation that Mbemba could now well be out for three months due to the injury and while Newcastle have not fully assessed the extent of the problem faced by the defender, he is certain to miss the Magpies' trip to Swansea City this weekend.
