Carr’s Newcastle future uncertain

STEPHEN CARR’S future at Newcastle is uncertain after the former Republic of Ireland right-back was reported to have clashed with manager Graeme Souness.

It is understood Carr could submit a transfer request following a bust-up 24 hours before the Magpies’ two 2-0 defeat at Tottenham on New year’s Eve.

The former Spurs player, 29, was expected to return from a two-month hernia lay-off but failed to make the trip. Carr has not played since the home victory over Sunderland on October 23 - soon afterwards he underwent hernia surgery in Germany - and was still missing yesterday for the 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough at St. James’ Park.
