Unremarkably, Joey Barton will miss the start of the Premiership season. Remarkably, it’s not due to suspension. He hasn’t been up to his usual high-jinx of viciously assaulting team-mates or putting cigars out in peoples’ eyes. Instead, he has suffered the most fashionable injury in football: the fractured metatarsal. A statement on the Newcastle United website read:
“He sustained a partial fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his left foot.”
Barton picked up the injury during a 1-1 draw in a friendly with Carlisle - a game which Michael Owen missed due to a thigh strain. It seems that a change in manager hasn’t yet brought Newcastle a change in fitness fortunes.
serves him right, the wee bastar*
