It would appear Magpies favourite Danish may well be on his way out of The Toon this coming summer.
According to several reports Peter Lovenkrands could have kicked his last ball for the club.
Magpies boss Alan Pardew confirmed on Thursday the Denmark international, whose contract expires in the summer, may not play again this term because of a thigh problem.
Pardew said: “We have got a bad injury this week – Peter Lovenkrands has really hurt his thigh.
“We are not sure yet, but he’s definitely torn it and he might have ruptured it, so we think that’s him for the season, actually, which is a very big blow for him with his contract up and everything.”
Lovenkrands, joined the club as a free agent under former boss Chris Hughton after a successful loan spell. The 32 year old has only played nine times this season, but came on as a substitute in last Sunday’s 1-1 derby draw with The Mackems.
Ironically Lover had spoken earlier this week about how he hoped to force his way into the United team before the end of the season, and bag his 100th career goal. That now appears extremely unlikely and may mean a free transfer rather than the prospect of a new contract.
For me he had a great season in the Championship promotion year. However has never looked like forcing his way into the side on a regular basis since then.
