"Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento is set to be out for between six and eight weeks after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's defeat by Arsenal. The full-back will miss England's internationals against Wales on 9 October and Latvia on 14 October, as well as the World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania next month. Livramento was stretchered off the field after landing awkwardly in his side's 2-1 defeat at St James' Park."
"The 22-year-old previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his time at Southampton, in 2022, and Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said it was "really distressing" to see him carried off. It is understood the injury is not as bad as first feared but Newcastle, as a result, are a little light at left-back, where Livramento has played the majority of his football this season."
Tino Livramento will be sidelined for six to eight weeks after sustaining a knee injury in Newcastle's defeat by Arsenal, ruling him out of England matches against Wales (9 October) and Latvia (14 October), and World Cup qualifiers with Serbia and Albania. He was stretchered off after landing awkwardly in the 2-1 defeat at St James' Park. Livramento previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at Southampton in 2022. Eddie Howe called the sight of him carried off "really distressing." The injury is not as severe as first feared, but Newcastle are light at left-back; options include Dan Burn and Lewis Hall. Livramento has been highly consistent and versatile, logging 646 minutes this season and drawing admiration from England manager Thomas Tuchel.
