Newcastle manager Eddie Howe continues to deal with a long list of injury problems, with a string of players set to miss Saturday’s trip to Fulham in thePremier League.
It has been an injury-plagued season for the Magpies and it was not improved last weekend when the likes of Tino Livramento, Miguel Almiron and Jamaal Lascelles all suffered fitness problems, while Anthony Gordon was sent off.
Kieran Trippier is also sidelined with a calf injury which has proved to be much more serious than first thought.
‘He hasn’t had a setback. With Kieran, he had a calf problem that initially, look, I always try and give you honest feedback on scan results and timeframes, but those timeframes, especially early in the injury, are just that,’ Howe told a press conference.
‘They’re an estimate. Now some injuries, I’m sure people will be frustrated that the manager said it’d be four weeks, but it’s ended up being six, seven or eight, but that’s just the nature of medicine and science. So Kieran will be a little bit longer than we anticipated he would be, purely from the fact he’s had no setback but the injury is just taking long than we first thought.
‘He’s had rescans and he’s been to see different people and we feel this is the best thing for him.’
Howe confirmed that both Livramento and Almiron are out of action this week...
