Newcastle United will be without key midfielder Jonjo Shelvey for their trip to Leicester City on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies head to the East Midlands this weekend in search of their second win of the season.

And they make the trip to the King Power Stadium having beaten City in the the teams' last two meetings there.

But making it three away wins on the bounce against the Foxes won't be an easy task.

Brendan Rodgers' men have picked up 11 points from their first six games, a return good enough to put them in third place.

And the Magpies won't be helped by injury issues, either.

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce this morning confirmed midfielder Jonjo Shelvey will miss the City game and more with a hamstring injury.

"Shelvey has got a problem with a hamstring, he's out," said Bruce.

"He's got a grade two hamstring, so he'll be a couple of weeks.

"(Sean) Longstaff is okay. He's trained all week, he'll be okay."
