The former Lille player has made 13 appearances for Newcastle this season and has performed admirably since arriving at the club last year. During his absence, Newcastle have been unable to win a game, loosing 2-1 to Swansea, drawing with Maritimo in the Europa League and loosing to Southampton 2-0 on Sunday.
