Newcastle United midfielder Haris Vuckic, who was taken off on a stretcher during the reserves game on Monday night has been told he will not play again this season, after being diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament. The 20 year old who was beginning to feature in the first team has expressed his sadness at the injury but has said he will come back stronger.

Vuckic told Ekipa, a Slovenian newspaper;

"I immediately knew that something is very  wrong and I suspected that it could be cruciate ligament and the medical  examination proved that.

Now I have to wait for the swelling in the  knee to go away. Than I will have surgery and four to six months of  rest.

It is very difficult, especially mentally.  But I know, that I will be okay, I know that doctors will take care of me, but  it will require time and a lot of patience."

He continued;

"I'm very sad. I was very close to  the first team, I was getting a chance in Europa League and after long time I  felt really great. But injuries are part of sport and football.I could feel sorry for myself, that  would be easier,  but I won't. I'm not like that so I will do everything  in my power to come back  even stronger."

He joins Ryan Taylor who is out with a similar injury, also until the end of the season.

Got to feel for him, criticised him on here a few weeks back but still believed he could make it. Hopefully with some great medical care and a good mentality he still will. Get well soon.

Does anybody else get that "Kadar" feeling. Shame, as this is the season when he really needed to make strides.

Still reckon Kadar could've made it if we'd given him more game time, decent in the Championship but dropped to 5th in the pecking order when we signed Sol Campbell. Then Pardew came in and didn't seem to rate him at all. Now he's God knows where, shame.

Vuckic is currently reminding me of a player who is still on our books. Looked to have a bright future before a serious injury (possibly even the same as Vuckic has?) and he doesn't seem the same player since he's joined us. Not writing Vuckic off here by any means but it just shows you what these type of injuries can do.

After all, remember how long Ben Arfa was out? He's turned out alright.
