Premier League: Newcastle defensive duo out for the season

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce confirmed on Monday that his defensive duo will miss the remainder of the season because of injuries. Jetro Willems sustained a cruciate knee ligament injury, and Paul Dummett could face surgery on a tendon injury. Willems was injured in the game against Chelsea on Saturday, while Dummett was withdrawn during the clash at Wolves, a week ago.

Jetro Willems has scored 2 goals in 20 Premier League appearances this season, and Paul Dummett is without a goal in his 16 league appearances. Newcastle United suffered even nine injuries over the Christmas period, and at Merseyside against Everton on Tuesday night will also miss Dwight Gayle (9/0 forward), Yoshinori Muto (7/0 forward), DeAndre Yedlin (11/1 defender), Ki Sung-Yeung (3/0 midfielder), Javi Manquillo (11/0 defender) and Jack Colback (0/0 midfielder), with uncertain status of Andy Carroll (13/0 forward).
