Eddie Howe giving this Newcastle United injury update ahead of playing Forest on Sunday.
Official Newcastle United injury update from Eddie Howe:
Eddie Howe on Tino Livramento’ recovery from injury:
“Tino is doing well, he is improving. Don’t think he will be back this season. We will let him recover and get a good summer behind him.”
Eddie Howe on Lewis Miley’s injury:
“It was an innocuous moment, he was training on Tuesday, he slipped, no other player was involved. He was unable to continue, and it was a little more serious than we thought.
“The surgery went well, he now faces a few months out, we hope he will be back in and around pre-season. It is a shame as he was playing well, a real blow for us.”
A Newcastle United official statement earlier in the week on the midfielder (and occasional right-back):
“Lewis Miley will miss the remaining three matches of the season after fracturing his fibula. The 20-year-old midfielder sustained the injury to his lower right leg during training on Tuesday.
“He will travel to a specialist consultant on Wednesday before continuing his rehabilitation with the club’s medical team, and is expected to return for the start of pre-season. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Lewis.”
So it looks like at least four Newcastle United players set to be unavailable. As well as Lewis Miley and Tino Livramento, Emil Krafth and Fabian Schar also set to remain on the sidelines.
