World Cup dream over for Newcastle star Kieron Dyer after he tweaked his hamstring again.
Dyer has had a torrid season injury-wise. So bad in fact, the lively international midfielder considered suicide. Gladly, that was only a passing thought for Kieron, but it does give an insight into his frustration at not being able to play for
Newcastle more often this season.

Newcastle Caretaker manager Glenn Roeder disagrees with Dyer's assessment of his world cup chances.

But if he's back training hard and playing in three weeks, then gradually, we will build up that strength in the hamstring. The problem is he has played so little football," said Roeder.
"It was a little bit of a surprise that he's picked up a slight strain, but there's no way at this stage we are back to square one. We are remaining very, very positive that no longer than three weeks will see Kieron out training hard and flying again."
