Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer looks certain to miss the rest of the season after suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury during Wednesday's goalless draw against Middlesbrough.

"Dyer's hamstring has gone completely," manager Graeme Souness told the club's website.

"He will have a scan on it, but I think he knows himself that it has gone from the way he pulled up."

The injury is likely to keep Dyer out of England's tour to the US next month. England are due to play the US on May 28 in Chicago, then face Colombia in New Jersey on May 31.
