Newcastle goalkeeper Rob Elliot insists that third-choice Karl Darlow is good enough to fill in after he joined Tim Krul on the sidelines for the rest of the season.

Newcastle United goalkeeper Rob Elliot has insisted that Karl Darlow has what it takes to fill in between the sticks following his season-ending injury.

Elliot sustained damage to his anterior cruciate ligament during Republic of Ireland's 2-2 draw with Slovakia on Tuesday night, ruling him out for Newcastle's crucial run-in.

Regular number one Tim Krul is also out for the season with a knee injury, leaving Darlow as their only remaining senior goalkeeper for the final eight games of the season.

"He's a great guy, he gets what Newcastle is all about and he works hard every day to get an opportunity like this. He deserves that roar from our fans like I had," Elliot told the club's official website.

"I messaged him as soon as I knew about my injury because I wanted him to know and to be ready. I know how good a goalkeeper he is already and how good he is going to be."

Newcastle return to action in a crucial relegation battle against fellow strugglers Norwich City on Saturday.
