It was in a duel with away team Callum Wilsons last Saturday that the center-back Lascelles made one knee so that he had to change already after 20 minutes.
Newcastle announces on its website that the captain will be gone for the rest of 2019. Paul Dummett replaced in the meeting with Bournemouth and is probably well at hand even now. Back colleagues Fabian Schär and Florian Lejeune are simultaneously approaching comeback after their respective injuries.
Lascelles has started in all twelve matches for Newcastle this season. He has scored one goal. Newcastle are in 13th place in the Premier League and have won their last two matches.
