Teamtalk are reporting that City defender and current captain, Gerry Taggart, could be out of contention for City's trip up north to Newcastle this Saturday after he limped out of the 3-0 defeat against Middlesbrough with an injured knee.

Better news about Frank Sinclair and Dean Sturridge though who both made their returns against 'boro. Although neither managed to play the full 90 minutes they are both expected to be fit for the Newcastle game.
