SEMTEX Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Newcastle starlet Haris Vuckic has been ruled out for two months after having surgery on his ankle. The 17-year-old suffered the injury playing for Slovenia Under-19s against England last week and the forward was quickly operated on. Vuckic has managed to break into the Magpies first-team this term starting once, against Peterborough in the League Cup, and coming off the bench twice. The youngster was thankful that the injury had not affected his knee as well - as was first feared - and is hopeful that he will be allowed to return to his homeland before his rehabilitation can begin. "For the next 14 days I'm not allowed to do anything, I just have to rest, rest and again rest," he told Ekipa. "Doctors told me that I will probably be back on the field in two months time. But thank the Lord nothing is wrong with my knee. "The tendon is just a little bit stretched so I will have to wear a splint and that is that. In two weeks time I have to go back to London and I hope everything will be okay so I can return to Slovenia and spend some time in my homeland." Vuckic also rejected claims that he was about to switch national allegiances to Bosnia, with the Bosnians reportedly keen on helping him turn his back on Slovenia. "As things stand in this moment, I will play for Slovenia," he added. "I'm a Slovenian national player and things will be the same in the future."

Optimistic Nut Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I sometimes wish International football at such ridiculous levels didn't exist. Look at that 14-year old Scotland youth international. No Scottish blood, but due to a new rule by FIFA is eligible. Looks a good prospect actually.

ponsaelius Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Any idea when this lad's gonna be back then? Was supposed to be out for 2 months so should be nearing a return, gotta feeling he'll get a few more chances towards the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably few weeks time; looked comfortable before Christmas walking around with no crutches watching the youth game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Newcastle United’s youth system is not famed for the quality of players it produces; but in the last couple of years there have been promising developments. Andy Carroll and Nile Ranger have made the step up to the first team and both look as they have the potential to be good players. A youngster named Haris Vučkić was signed by the club last year and though he has not come through the academy, Vučkić has impressed greatly in the youth teams. Vučkić joined the club last January and it was quite a coup as at the time he was one of the most sought after young players in Europe and had undergone a trial at AC Milan before securing a move to Newcastle. He is still only 17, but Vučkić has already made appearances in the first-team as he came on as a substitute in the League Cup and the league in the early part of the season. A skilful player with good technique, Vučkić can play as an attacking midfielder, second striker or as a winger. He scored on his debut for the Newcastle reserves and has impressed the coaching staff with his ability on the ball and his confidence. Unfortunately he was injured in late October and has been ruled out 3 months, but he is expected to return imminently. He already trains with the first team and is a player that the club have really high hopes for. Vučkić qualifies to play for Slovenia and turned out at the under-19 Championships over the summer despite only being 16. He did not look out of place playing against players significantly older than him and his technical ability is already of a high standard. He took a few months to settle into life in the North-East but over the summer and the beginning of the season he began to blossom. The likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United have been linked with the wonderkid, but Newcastle are confident of holding on to him and he is likely to play some part in the latter stages of the season. http://www.footballfancast.com/football-blogs/a-star-making-newcastles-haris-vuki Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
