Newcastle United defender Daryl Janmaat has suffered a hamstring injury.

The muscle tweak was sustained during United’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City on Saturday and he will now be assessed by Toon medics.

It means that Janmaat drops out of the Holland squad that faces Kazakhstan on Friday in Amsterdam before traveling to Reykjavik to take on Iceland on Oct. 13.

The Dutch football association says coach Guus Hiddink has called up Augsburg defender Paul Verhaegh as a replacement.

However, United will be hopeful that Janmaat is fit for the next United game a week on Saturday against Leicester City at St James’ Park.
