Danny Welbeck had to be stretched off the pitch at St James Park following what appears to be a serious injury.
The Brighton ace fell to the floor in the 77th minute following a coming together with Newcastle defender Fabian Schar.
The collision between the pair appeared minuscule, however the 33-year-old immediately fell to the floor in agony, with medical staff being called on the pitch immediately.
Welbeck was treated for several minutes on the pitch before he was taken away on a stretcher with less than fifteen minutes left to go in the clash.
Several reports are saying the Brighton star suffered an injury to his lower back, the severity of the injury is unknown.
