The Toon goalkeeper was carried off on a stretcher in Ireland's friendly clash with Slovakia.

Medics claim Elliott twisted his right knee, and could he now miss the weekend trip to Carrow Road.

Elliot was reportedly holding his knee in pain as he jumped to gather the ball.

The Newcastle man was replaced by West Ham's Darren Randolph on 16 minutes.

Rafa Benitez will be hoping Elliot is fit to travel south on Saturday.

The ex-Charlton man is filling in as the club's No.1 after Tim Krul was ruled out for the season.

Former Nottingham Forest man Karl Darlow is in line to replace Elliot between the posts if he fails to recover in time.

England Under-19 goalkeeper Freddie Woodman would likely then step up to provide cover on the bench.
