Newcastle United's on-loan striker Loic Remy will miss his side's opening Premier League clash with Manchester City on August 19 due to injury, manager Alan Pardew said on Sunday.
.
"Remy has a calf injury," Pardew told Newcastle's Evening Chronicle.
.
"It's just a strain but it's an area that is stopping him from running at the moment. We need to get some work into him.
.
"There is no chance of him making Man City.
.
Whether there is a chance of him playing against West Ham in the next game is something we will have to suck and see as we go along."
.
Remy linked up with Newcastle on a season-long loan from Queens Park Rangers this week, having scored six goals in 14 appearances for the west London club who were relegated to the second-tier Championship last season.

Missing a season opener is not really dissappointing as to missing matches when the season is about to end and @ a crucial stage.
