The "Curse" Of Newcastle United

Glenn Roeder walked away from Ewood Park knowing more players will be queuing up for the treatment room on Monday morning, to add to a list that seems to be growing by the day.

Emre (ankle), Nolberto Solano (groin) and Antoine Sibierski (hamstring) all limped off in the second half although the team still managed to keep its shape and win 3-1.

Roeder: "Emre we were concerned that he had broken his ankle, but we believe he has done some damage to his ankle.

"Nobby's had a great time at right-back but felt a sharp pain in his groin.

"We're hoping Sibierski was cramp in his hamstring rather than a pull."
