Newcastle United’s forgotten man Facundo Ferreyra has been told he has a clean slate at the club by John Carver.

The Argentine was tipped to leave after failing to win his place in the Toon team following a loan move from Shakhtar Donetsk.

When asked on the striker’s whereabouts, Carver said: “He’s injured at the moment. He’s had a problem with his back, he’s had an injection. I sat everybody on Tuesday morning and said everybody has a clean slate.”

Carver should have better news as far as Ryan Taylor is concerned, though.

He said: “It’s good news. He has been back all week and he looks good. It’s really encouraging having all these players around; Mehid Abeid, Gabby Obertan, Siem de Jong. Rolando Aarons is coming back next week.”

Paul Dummett will miss the trip to the KC Stadium through injury, although he is expected to be back in training next week.

De Jong will miss Hull but Obertan is back in contention for a place on the bench.
