Newcastle United have lost another player to injury.

The Magpies suffered a poor 4-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday.

And Toon boss Steve Bruce admitted after the game that defender Ciaran Clark suffered a serious injury.

"He's got a bad one. It doesn't look good," said Bruce, quoted by the Evening Chronicle. "By the state of his ankle it looks pretty serious. We'll know more in next 24-48 hours.

"It doesn't look great, the state of his ankle, leaving the ground on crutches. I can't say now how bad it is but it's bad enough."
