Matt Targett has been ruled out of Newcastle’s match against Manchester City on Saturday afternoon for a reason you seldom see.

Newcastle host the champions at St James’ Park in the 12:30pm kick-off and could leapfrog them if they win by four or more goals.Ā 

Eddie Howe’s side have made a strong start to the season and sit sixth after six games with 10 points but suffered their first loss last time out to Fulham.Ā 

Targett has not played this season but if Howe did want to call on him, he now cannot.Ā 

‘Matt had a flare-up of eczema, so he’s been nursing that the last couple of weeks,’ Howe explained.Ā 

‘It’s been quite a bad episode for him. We’re hoping to get him back to training, but he won’t play this weekend.’Ā
