Midfielder ruled out

Newcastle United, 11:26, September 25, 2009 ,

New signing Marlon Harewood is set to make his Newcastle debut at Ipswich but Joey Barton has been ruled out through injury.

Harewood has joined the Magpies from Aston Villa on a three-month loan deal and could go straight into the starting line-up for the clash at Portman Road.
However, Chris Hughton has confirmed he will be without Joey Barton who is struggling with a foot injury.
"Joey will not figure. He has had a problem with his foot of late," Hughton revealed. "It is a bit of a hangover from a problem he had earlier in the season, but we hope to have him back in contention soon."
Barton joins Danny Simpson, Shola Ameobi, Jonas Gutierrez and Tamas Kadar on the injury list while Danny Guthrie is out through suspension following his sending off at Peterborough.
