Martin O’Neill on Rob Elliot: ‘I’ve just spoken to the doctor and he's not happy’

Martin O'Neill has revealed Rob Elliot suffered a "serious knee injury" which could end both his Euro 2016 dream and his hopes of helping to keep Newcastle in the Barclays Premier League.

The 29-year-old goalkeeper was hurt as he tried to keep out Miroslav Stoch's opener in the Republic of Ireland's 2-2 draw with Slovakia on Tuesday evening, and now both club and country will anxiously await news of the extent of the problem.
