Newcastle United journalist Jordan Cronin has reacted to some big injury news that has now emerged before the Magpies play Liverpool in the Premier League.
The Lowdown: Fraser update
Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match, Eddie Howe has revealed that while Ryan Fraser has been out on the grass, he has not trained ahead of the clash with the title-chasing Reds.
He is not sure whether the Scotland international will be able to play again this season, but insists that it is not a ‘serious injury’.
The Latest: Cronin reacts
Taking to Twitter, Newcastle World journalist Cronin has given his reaction to Howe’s comments, claiming that Fraser’s season could be over:
“Sounds like Ryan Fraser’s season could be over.”

The Verdict: Big blow
Howe’s comments certainly do not sound promising, and so if they were to lose Fraser for the rest of the campaign, it would be a big blow.
He has been a key part of their turnaround under the manager, as he has contributed two goals and two assists in the Premier League since February (Transfermarkt).
They are already missing a number of key players through injury, and the task is an uphill one anyway against Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Nonetheless, the Magpies will now have to find a way to win games without him, as they look to secure a strong finish to the campaign.
