Newcastle United youngster Rolando Aarons is reportedly expected to be on the sidelines for around six weeks due to a hamstring problem.
Manager Alan Pardew is believed to have wanted to give the 18-year-old some game time against Hull City this weekend.
However, according to the Daily Star, a hamstring injury which was suffered in training is worse than first feared and could keep Aarons out of action until November.
The Magpies are yet to win a game in the Premier League this season, which has placed them at the bottom of the table after four matches.
