Kieron's season over
GLENN ROEDER has promised Kieron Dyer that the club will not give up on him. Newcastle's caretaker boss admitted after Saturday's 3-0 home win over West Brom - in which Dyer played no part - that the England international's season is over.
A hamstring strain is the latest injury to keep Dyer out of action and Roeder is adamant that United must get to the root of his long-standing injury problems.
"We have taken lots of opinions recently and we won't stop doing that," said Roeder.
"There has to be an answer as to why he keeps breaking down and we are trying to find it."
"Kieron played two games in three days and got through them well. He had a couple of days rest before he came back in for light training on Friday but he felt that the hamstring was tightening up and he took himself out of the session.
"He will not be fit for our last two games, he has finished for the season and it is all about getting to the root of the problem and getting him back for pre-season."
Meanwhile, better news on the injury front is that Michael Owen IS expected to be involved at Birmingham on Saturday, for his long-awaited comeback after recovering from a broken metatarsal bone in his foot.
