Alan Pardew has revealed Daryl Janmaat, Mike Williamson and Massaido Haidara are all doubts for the Burnley game.

Pardew says that Newcastle’s injury list is “critical” ahead of the Turf Moor trip and news that Janmaat, Williamson and Haidara could be absent is another blow to a boss who is missing keeper Tim Krul and captain Fabricio Coloccini.

Janmaat has been outstanding in recent weeks, but was forced off at West Ham.

“Fingers crossed but we don’t know. He’s got a strain,” Pardew said.

“We’re taking all the ones who are struggling, but we could be without Williamson, Haidara and Janmaat on top of the injuries we know we have.

As revealed on ChronicleLive last week, Krul’s injury is a serious one and he will be missing until at least January.

It could even extend into the middle of next month, which means Krul will miss matches at Spurs in the League Cup and the Tyne-Wear derby.

“I think he’ll be back mid-January or start of January if we’re lucky,” he said.

“It’s a big blow for us. Robbie certainly needed the West Ham game. That’s where the League Cup games can be very important.

“We get so much abuse from the media when we chop and change but we’ve chopped and changed over the last seven games and won six of them.

“Robbie is more than capable of deputising, he’s an Irish international. We wish him well.”
