Alan Pardew: "I was a bit upset with that tackle.

"I have seen it again and I don't think it was malicious but Valencia has mistimed it badly and unfortunately it might cost us a player.

"I am not sure what is wrong.

"It is too early to say. It is a bang on the ankle.

"We will have to see whether he will make Arsenal, which would be a loss to us."
