Kieran Trippier, Javier Manquillo & Jamaal Lascelles - Newcastle United injury list and potential return dates

Newcastle United were handed two fresh injury blows in their 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

The win against Steven Gerrard’s Villa, courtesy of Kieran Trippier’s free-kick, opened up a four-point advantage on the Premier League relegation places.

But it may have come at a cost for Eddie Howe’s side after Javier Manquillo and Kieran Trippier limped off.

We take a look at Newcastle’s current injury list and each player’s possible return date:

Kieran Trippier

The injury

Newcastle have confirmed Trippier has fractured the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot, which is likely to see him sidelined for up to six weeks.

What Eddie Howe has said

“ (Kieran) Trippier got stamped on and he couldn’t continue with a problem on the top of his foot. He’s gone for an X-ray at hospital.

“We’re keeping everything crossed that there is no broken bone there.”

Potential return date

At best, Trippier could return for the home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 9, but that is dependent on how quickly the England full-back recovers.

Javier Manquillo

The injury

Manquillo came in for Matt Targett, who was ineligible to face his parent club Aston Villa, at left-back but was forced to withdraw just before half-time.

What Eddie Howe has said

“(Javier) Manquillo landed awkwardly on his ankle, so I think it’s is a ligament problem.”

Potential return date

Too soon to say.

Jamaal Lascelles

The injury

Newcastle’s captain missed the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa through illness.

What Eddie Howe has said

“(Jamaal ) Lascelles was out through illness, picked up in the last couple of days.”

Potential return date

Lascelles should recover in time to face West Ham United away next Saturday.

Federico Fernandez

The injury

Fernandez has been sidelined since December with a calf problem.

What Eddie Howe has said

“Fede Fernandez is making good progress but still hasn’t trained with the group.”

Howe also said last Monday: “Fede is having his first day with sports science, so he’s edging closer to a return to training.”

Potential return date

Late February, early March. Newcastle play away to Brentford on February 26 then host Brighton on March 5.

Callum Wilson

The injury

Wilson has been out of action since injuring his calf in the 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United on December 27.

What Eddie Howe has said

“There’s a time when he’s due back but, I think, as always with these types of injuries, is not absolutely clear.

“We’ll go more on how he feels than a specific time given by the physios or doctors.

“It’s been slow progress for him since the initial injury. He’s been on crutches. I think he’s come off those crutches now, and is walking, which is a big step.

“We all wish Callum to come back as quickly as possible, but when he comes back, he’s got to be fit and ready to give his best.

“I don’t think it’s going to be short-term. Hopefully, he can make the last few games of the season, and really help us in the key moment.”

Potential return date

Still unknown, although Howe’s comments suggest he might not return until April at the earliest.

Matt Ritchie

The injury

Ritchie has missed the last three games - Leeds United, Everton and Aston Villa - with what is believed to be a knee injury.

What Eddie Howe has said

Howe has said very little on Ritchie’s injury, though did he state he’d be out “longer-term”.

Potential return date

Unknown.
