Newcastle midfielder Danny Guthrie, who just received his first red card with Newcastle in Saturday’s 1-2 loss to Hull City, has revealed that he wants to ‘personally’ apologize to the Tigers’ striker Craig Fagan as soon as possible.
This was Newcastle’s first match since manager Kevin Keegan had left the club.
It was revealed by Hull manager Phil Brown that the striker has got a broken right leg. The tigers revealed on Monday night that Fagan has suffered a fractured right tibia in the bone breaking challenge that earned the red card to Guthrie.
It is still not sure whether Guthrie’s apology will be able to satisfy Hull, as following an X-ray report, Fagan is expected to stay out on the sidelines for at least three months.
Guthrie, after the incident, answered that though the tackle was wrong, it was in part due to the frustration of losing the match. The player stated that it was quite different from his real self.
He also added that Newcastle are in constant touch with Hull to keep themselves updated on the issue, and assured that he wanted to talk to Fagan at the earliest possible.
Meanwhile, another Magpie midfielder, Argentinean Jonas Gutirrez has been injured after a shoulder push in a South America World Cup qualifier against Peru.
The Argentinean Football Association has confirmed that as a result of talks with Newcastle, the midfielder is to stay in Argentina for his rest and rehabilitation.
There’s also news that Mike Ashley has asked for a staggering US$ 860 millions from an investor group of Dubai for selling Newcastle United.
