"Livramento was forced off in the 77th minute against Arsenal in a game that saw Newcastle lose 2-1 as the Gunners produced a stirring fightback with late goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel, the latter netting the winner in the sixth minute of added time. The cruel reality for Newcastle was that there likely would not have been eight minutes of stoppage time had Livramento avoided an apparent knee injury."
"It has yet to be confirmed how long the England full-back will be out, but Howe indicted more will be known about the severity of the setback in a couple of days. "I'm better off waiting before giving any indication on that because that could be a mistake," Howe told a press conference ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Union St. Gilloise. "Let's wait and see in the next couple of days.""
"Newcastle have won just once in the Premier League this season despite some strong performances that deserved more. The defeat to Arsenal marked their second of the campaign, with both coming via injury-time winners. Liverpool won 3-2 at St James' Park in August through Rio Ngumoha's last-gasp strike. In the Champions League, Newcastle lost their opener 2-1 against Barcelona despite a spirited effort, Howe's team ultimately paying the price for failing to take several first-half chances."
Tino Livramento was taken off on a stretcher in the 77th minute after an apparent knee injury that may have contributed to extended stoppage time.

Manager Eddie Howe declined to speculate on the recovery timeline, saying more would be known in a couple of days. Newcastle have managed only one Premier League win so far, suffered two injury-time defeats, and lost their Champions League opener to Barcelona, heightening pressure to respond.
