Lewis Miley, Fabian Schar & Tino Livramento: Newcastle United expected return dates
Lewis Miley, Fabian Schar & Tino Livramento: Newcastle United injury list & expected return dates.
Lewis Miley will miss the final three matches of Newcastle United’s season after fracturing his fibula in training.
The 20-year-old midfielder suffered the injury to his lower right leg during a training session at Benton on Tuesday and will now miss matches against Nottingham Forest, West Ham United and Fulham.
Miley is set to see a specialist consultant on Wednesday before working with Newcastle’s medical team with the view to returning to fitness for the start of pre-season in July.
It marks another injury blow for Miley, who had only recently returned from a muscle injury in his thigh that ruled him out of action between January and April.
Eddie Howe is now without four senior players, but could any return before the season is up? Here are their return dates:
Tino Livramento
Livramento suffered yet another injury setback after limping off during the recent defeat to Bournemouth.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
“Yeah, for Tino, that's a huge blow for him, but for us. I actually thought he, in part, with Kieran's introduction at the beginning of the second half, made it stronger, and then losing him was a big blow.”
Expected return date
A best-case scenario, according to reports, is that he returns for the final two games of the season.
West Ham United (H) 17/05.
Fabian Schar
Schar was scheduled to return from three months out with an ankle injury earlier this month before picking up a foot injection that required surgery.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
“Fabian, unfortunately suffered an infection in his foot. He's been in hospital having a very small operation to get that cleaned out so he won't return for around a month, we think. So that's bad news on him.”
Expected return date
West Ham United (H) 17/05.
Emil Krafth
Krafth is out of contract this summer and could therefore have played his last game for the club as he recovers from a knee injury.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
“Emil's had an operation on his knee, so I think in all likelihood it looks like the season is over, which is a real blow for us.
“He first suffered the problem on international duty. We hoped that he could come back and be OK, but it was clear in training recently that he wasn't going to get to the level needed and that he needed a surgical intervention.”
Expected return date
2026-27.
