Newcastle wing-back Matt Targett has undergone successful hamstring surgery.

Targett suffered the injury in the 3-0 Carabao Cup win at Manchester United last week.

He posted social media today: "Still finding it hard to get my head around the injury… felt so good going into the United game!!

"Completely bizarre injury to happen in a couple minutes of the game! Surgery went well yesterday so I'm on the mend.

"Determined to come back better then ever."
