Cabaye has surgery in France

Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye has undergone groin surgery in Paris.

The Magpies have confirmed the 26-year-old France international had an operation on Monday to repair the damage which has sidelined him since the 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat by West Ham on November 11.

Cabaye, who has made 13 appearances for the club in all competitions this season, will be out of action for several weeks.
