Newcastle United winger Rolando Aarons will reportedly be absent for the rest of the season after suffering an injury setback.

The 19-year-old burst onto the scene under former manager Alan Pardew earlier in the season, but hamstring and thigh problems have knocked him back.

Aarons spent five months on the treatment table and was expected to play in Wednesday's Under-21s match against Derby County, but according to talkSPORT, the winger has been hampered by another hamstring problem.

Newcastle currently sit 13th in the Premier League table.
