Fabricio Coloccini's Newcastle future has been plunged into fresh doubt after footage emerged of him watching former club San Lorenzo from the stands.

The wantaway Toon skipper flew to his native Argentina at the start of the month for rehab on his injured back.

And Coloccini was filmed on Saturday singing with travelling San Lorenzo fans during the side's 1-0 Primera Division win at Colon.

Coloccini, 30, was the subject of a transfer enquiry from the South Americans in January after he revealed his desire to leave Newcastle due to personal problems.

Pardew persuaded his captain - whose contact does not expire until 2016 - to stay at Newcastle until at least the end of the season.
