Demba Ba: Knacked ankle?
There have been some reports that Newcastle United’s top scorer in the Premiership season so far, Demba Ba, may miss Newcastle United’s next game with Tottenham Hotspur in two weeks.

According to the AFP (Agence France-Presse) newsagency, the player turned his ankle before just before being substituted by Peter Lovenkrands in yesterday’s game with Wolves at Molineux. In their report of the game they wrote:
