'Gutted' - Freak training ground injury rules Newcastle United star out for months
Newcastle United midfielder Lewis Miley has broken his silence on the injury that cut his 2025/26 season short.
Lewis Miley admitted he is ‘gutted’ to miss Newcastle United’s final three games of the season but has vowed to come back stronger.
The midfielder suffered a broken fibula in training two weeks ago which required surgery.
The injury is expected to keep him out over the summer though he is expected to be back for the start of the 2026/27 season.
Miley has established himself as a key player for Newcastle this season, having impressed both in midfield and at right-back when needed, scoring three goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.
Lewis Miley ‘gutted’ after injury blow
Two weeks on from his injury, Miley took to Instagram to express his frustration while also vowing to bounce back stronger in time for the start of the new season.
“Gutted with how my season has ended,” he wrote. “Thank you to everyone for your kind messages. I’ll be back stronger than ever in time for the new season. See you all soon, Magpies.”
Freak injury rules Lewis Miley out
After being ruled out for over two months with an injury that was initially diagnosed as a deal leg, Miley has suffered yet another freak injury to rule him out for an extended period.
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said: “It was a really innocuous moment, really, [in] training.
“No one around him, there was no other player involved. He slipped and went down. We probably at that moment thought maybe just a twist of something, nothing too serious, but he was unable to continue and pretty early sort of became aware it was a little bit more serious than we thought.
“That's the fragile nature of a professional footballer's career and now he faces a few months out. We hope that he'll be back in and around it for pre-season.
“It's a real shame because he was playing really, really well, outstanding in recent weeks. We really missed him when he got his injury last time, so a real blow for us, but also for Louis and knowing the strength of character, he'll be back and he'll be back better than ever, but it's going to be a blow for him and for us.”
