Newcastle will be without Michael Owen and Joey Barton for about eight weeks after both picked up injuries in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester City.
Manager Joe Kinnear revealed that striker Owen cracked a bone in his ankle and midfielder Barton, 26, has a similar injury in his foot.
The injury means Owen, 29, will have no chance of playing in England's friendly against Spain on 11 February.
"It's one thing after another at the moment," said Kinnear. <!-- E SF -->
Owen, who has been continually overlooked by England manager Fabio Capello since the Italian succeeded Steve McClaren, left the ground on crutches.
He has scored 10 times this season, though he went into Wednesday's match with only one goal in his last seven matches.
Owen was replaced by Jonas Gutierrez after 19 minutes, while Barton, who was making his first start since November, went off in the second half to be replaced by debutant Peter Lovenkrands.
Barton has cracked a metatarsal bone in his foot and is expected to undergo surgery to rectify the problem.
Kinnear said he was unlikely to be able to make any further additions to his suad to cover the absence of the pair, with the economic downturn having a major impact on the finances of the club's owner Mike Ashley.
"Life is seriously tough. The credit crunch is killing us," said Kinnear.
"Mike has lost £2bn quid in his own businesses and shares. He is just about paying the wages but it is not an easy situation.
"You look at Tottenham paying £16m here and £14m there. I would love to spend money like that but I can't. You can see why so many people bottled this job." <!-- E BO -->
