Winger worry for Magpies
Newcastle United, 18:07, November 10, 2009 ,
Jonas Gutierrez is struggling with a thigh injury but Newcastle are hopeful of having him back fit to face Preston.
The winger picked up the problem during the win against Peterborough last Saturday and although it is not thought to be serious, he will miss Argentina's game against Spain on Saturday.
There are still two weeks to go before the game against North End and boss Chris Hughton is confident of having him available.
"Jonas has a very slight thigh strain and will miss the Argentina game this weekend," said Hughton. "We will assess him again after the weekend and we're hoping that he can play some part at Preston."
