British media and Newcastle United fans cannot stop talking about Sean Steur going off injured

Newcastle United edged out Hull City 2-1 at home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Afterwards, the focus also turned to Sean Steur, who went off injured.

Steur started for Newcastle, his third start since joining the club. Midway through the second half, the midfielder had to come off after appearing to feel his hamstring. It may have been cramp.

He will hope the problem does not keep him out for long, especially after Friday's announcement that he has been included in the Netherlands Under-21 squad for the first time.

Still, that call-up did not come out of nowhere. Steur has impressed in his first months at Newcastle and drew plenty of praise again after the win over Hull.

"This is not normal for a player of his age. I am really, really very pleased," manager Matthias Jaissle said about the former Ajax player.

Douglas, a journalist at the British The i Paper, is also impressed by Steur. "There is so much to enjoy about Sean Steur. He drives forward at full throttle, takes initiative and presses with real intensity. Only 18 years old, but he already looks like a leader in this group."

Meanwhile, Steve Stone, former Newcastle manager, said on the BBC: "Can we just mention how good Steur is? He is 18 years old, in a big Premier League match. He has been fantastic so far."

Fans on X are running out of superlatives too. "He is going to be an absolute star," one person writes, among other things. Another writes, "You can already see this lad is on his way to the top", while someone else calls him "Wonderboy".
