Joe looking for luck after injuries
JOE Kinnear is hoping for more luck as much as more money in January after admitting a spate of injuries in the same position have left his Newcastle United squad exposed.
The Magpies have doubts over Nicky Butt, Danny Guthrie and Damien Duff for Sunday's trip to Portsmouth. With Joey Barton, Alan Smith and Ignacio González definitely out, they face a major problem at Fratton Park.
While the injuries make Kinnear's task on the south coast more difficult, it strengthens his case for reinforcements in the January transfer window. "It's sickening that all the recent injuries have come in midfield," Kinnear admitted. "We've lost Damien Duff, Butt, Barton and now Guthrie and you can't legislate for that as a manager, not all those players missing at the same time.
