Town managing director Ian Milne says the Blues are checking out whether they are due compensation after winger Ryan Fraser suffered a medial knee ligament injury while training with the Scotland U21 squad during the international break.
"We are looking at it. If it was England we’d get compensation,” Milne told BBC Radio Suffolk’s Life’s a Pitch.
"[Club secretary] Sally Webb is checking with the Scottish FA to find out what the situation is. He’s out for two months but hopefully it won’t be more than two months.”
Newcastle will reportedly receive a multi-million-pound compensation settlement via FIFA's Club Protection Programme due to keeper Tim Krul suffering a long-term knee injury while away with the senior Dutch national squad.
Fraser, 21, who is on a season-long loan from AFC Bournemouth, has made an impressive start to his spell with the Blues, scoring four goals in eight starts and three sub appearances.
The Aberdonian was named the Football League's Young Player of the Month for August when he was also amongst the nominees for the Championship Player of the Month gong.
