Robert could make a comeback

Despite damaging a medial ligament, Newcasle and French winger Laurent Robert could be playing first team football again before the season is over.

With just 12 minutes gone in Saturday's 6-2 home defeat by Manchester United, Robert was was sent for a scan after it became apparent that his knee injury was more than just a knock.

However, Robert could be back in 10 days - 3 weeks time.

"It has been confirmed that Laurent has a medial ligament strain, and depending on the treatment and recovery, it will be somewhere between 10 and 21 days before he is back," said a club spokesman.

Robert will definately miss the next two games, and possible the Derby match with Sunderland.
