Shola Ameobi fears his latest injury setback 'does not look good' after being forced off in Newcastle United's defeat at Arsenal.
The striker, who missed a large chunk of last season with a hip problem, suffered a groin injury in the 2-0 defeat at Emirates Stadium.
Ameobi was looking to make an impact in the first team, but is now waiting to learn how serious his latest setback will be.
"I had to come off because I did something to my groin, which doesn't look good," Ameobi told the Evening Chronicle.
"I want to get back in the team and start playing as a regular.
"Injuries keeping me out isn't good for me, but this is the luck we are having at the moment. It makes it more frustrating that I had almost a season out last year and that I am struggling to get into the team.
"That's frustrating. I know what it is like to miss three or four games and then come back in is very difficult.
"I have always said that I need to play this season. I now have to get back, get fully fit and show what I can do.
"I will see how it goes in the next 48 hours. Maybe I will get some good news if it turns out it isn't as bad."
