Newcastle manager Graeme Souness insists he will not gamble on the fitness of injury-plagued midfielder Kieron Dyer if he has any doubts on his ability to last 90 minutes.
Souness: "I spoke to Kieron on Monday and Tuesday and felt he wanted to be involved at Grimsby. But we then spoke to our medical people, and decided to hold him back a bit and give him a bit more time to recover.
"I'm not saying you won't see him before the international break, but we cannot afford to have him breaking down again by rushing him back when he's not ready."
