Alan Pardew admits Newcastle striker Leon Best may be out for the foreseeable future after training with an ankle injury.\n<\/p>\n

The in-form forward picked up the knock before the international break, halting a spell of six goals in his last nine games in the league.<\/p>\n

With the problem putting him out of international duty with the Republic of Ireland, the 24-year-old travelled to Ireland to report his injury to his national side, yet ended up taking part in a training session.<\/p>\n

Best broke down shortly into the spell, raising questions over why he took part in training.<\/p>\n

When asked about whether his player should have risked aggravating an injury, Pardew, who is set to face Wolves on Saturday with a side short on goals, was philosophical.<\/p>\n

Impact<\/h4>\n

“No, probably not,” he told the Daily Express<\/i>. “But I do not think it has had any impact. <\/p>\n

“I would suggest that Leon is out for Saturday, but that has nothing to do with Ireland’s training sessions.<\/p>\n

“We have got to get him seen on Monday by a specialist to find out exactly what is the problem because it is just not right.<\/p>\n

“We will have to see with Leon. Are we talking weeks or months? I have no idea at this stage how long he could be out.<\/p>\n

“When he has had this injury before, he has had an injection and it has seemed to go away, but he has had another injection this time and it has not gone away.<\/p>\n

“We might go down the line of having a second injection, I just don’t know.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
