Newcastle United's Leon Best will miss Saturday's FA Cup third round trip to Stevenage Borough because of injury.
The 24-year old Republic of Ireland striker marked his first start of the season with a hat-trick in the Magpies' 5-0 rout of West Ham United during the week but has been forced out of the cup fixture.
"Unfortunately, it looks like he's struggling for Saturday. He came off early in the game because of his heel, and that looks problematic," said Newcastle boss Alan Pardew.
