Newcastle United's John Carver was in high spirits ahead of the weekend's clash with Arsenal despite his side's injury crisis.
?Magpies boss Carver has joked that he does not have a selection headache due his side being ravaged by injury problems.
?Newcastle have performed woefully in the Premier League in recent times and their issues have been compounded by the fact they have hardly anybody fit for the clash with the Gunners.
?Following the loss of defender Fabricio Coloccini to suspension, Carver is left with only 13 senior outfield players to choose from but rather than complaining - the 50-year old has gone on to make light of the situation.
?Carver said: "The good news is that I've not got a selection problem tomorrow because I've only got 13 fit senior players, plus two keepers, so that won't be too difficult.
?"There's no sign of anyone coming back in the near future other than Mehdi Abeid, who is a week or so away. We're working on Rolando Aarons, but everyone else is more or less long-term."?
