Newcastle keeper Nick Pope is facing roughly four months on the sidelines as he prepares to undergo shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n
The England international dislocated his left shoulder during Saturday’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Man United\u00a0and head coach Eddie Howe\u00a0is resigned to losing him for most of the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n
‘We anticipate he’ll be operated on,’ the Magpies manager said. ‘There’s no doubt he needs an operation – so he will be out for a period of time, we think around four months.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Mail Sport revealed that the Magpies are considering a shock move for free agent David de Gea as a potential replacement.<\/p>\n
Howe has, however, played down these rumours, insisting: ‘We really believe in Martin Dubravka \u2014 I’ve always had that high opinion of him. Martin is a high class goalkeeper.’<\/p>\n
