Newcastle United are set to take on Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.

Ki Sung-Yueng has confirmed to the Shields Gazette that Newcastle United midfielder Isaac Hayden’s injury is not a serious one.

Hayden was taken off during Newcastle’s last game against Southampton with an injury issue.

But Ki believes that Hayden will make it back in time to play for Newcastle this weekend.

“It’s not a serious injury, so I think he will be fine for the next game,” he said.

Hayden has been one of Newcastle’s best players over recent weeks, so his inclusion for the weekend would be a boost to Rafael Benitez’s side.

Even though speculation still exists over Hayden’s future, the Newcastle man has really knuckled down and showed his professional side.

Newcastle won 3-1 against Southampton in their last game to move up to 13th place in the Premier League table.

The Magpies’ next match comes against relegation threatened Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
