Newcastle supervisor Eddie Howe says Tino Livramento’s eight-week restoration forecast is “excellent news” however the watch for Yoane Wissa’s debut will probably be “barely longer”.
Defender Livramento beforehand suffered an anterior cruciate ligament damage throughout his time at Southampton, resulting in fears of a chronic spell on the sidelines when the full-back was stretchered off during Newcastle’s defeat by Arsenal at St James’ Park on Sunday.
The 22-year-old subsequently missed out on Thomas Tuchel’s squad for England’s upcoming internationals in opposition to Wales and Latvia.
No participant has performed extra minutes (646) within the opening weeks of Newcastle’s Premier League season than Livramento.
“He went to see a specialist a few days in the past as a result of the scan perhaps seemed higher than we initially thought,” Howe stated.
“The specialist confirmed it is roughly an eight-week damage.
“A blow to lose him, however for what it may have been, it’s excellent news.”
