17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Seydou Doumbia

7. His Last Game Was Almost 2 Months Ago

So it might take him some time to regain his fitness... Although looking at the man, you'd think he'd be able to play 90 minutes tomorrow. Seydou's last competitive 90 minutes was against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on December 8, where he started as CSKA went on to lose 2-1. This absence of game time isn't because he's been injured or been forced to serve a long ban, but because the Russian league goes into hibernation over the winter months. Prior to the break, Doumbia scored eight goals on his return to Russia.
