Massadio Haidara insists that he has "learned" about the English game following the horror tackle which left the Newcastle defender with severe bruising.

Newcastle United defender Massadio Haidara has insisted that he has "learned" from his recent stint on the sidelines from injury.

The 20-year-old sought hospital treatment when Wigan Athletic youngster Callum McManaman slammed into the left-back's knee during the Magpies' 2-1 defeat to the Latics almost a fortnight ago.

"They say what doesn't destroy you can make you stronger. That's true," Haidara told The Chronicle. "It is going to be difficult for me to start with when I return.

"But I have learned a lot from this. I am learning more about the English game and it is a great education for me."

McManaman went unpunished for the incident, which left Haidara with severe bruising on his thigh.
