Newcastle have been handed
a boost with the news that Craig Moore's injury is not as serious
as first feared.
The Magpies feared Moore might be ruled out for the rest of the
season after limping out of last weekend's defeat to Manchester
City.
However, Newcastle boss Glenn Roeder believes Moore could be fit to
face Sheffield United this weekend.
"By getting Craig off the field when we did, we prevented any
serious damage to his groin," said Roeder.
"He will be back training with us again by Thursday and we feel
that he has a genuine chance of playing against Sheffield United at
Bramall Lane on Saturday."
Stephen Carr is also set to shake off a minor knock to line up at
Bramall Lane.
"Stephen Carr also took a knock on Saturday, but he will also be
back on Thursday and will be okay for the weekend," added
Roeder.
