Newcastle United injury list and potential return dates after Kieran Trippier and Javier Manquillo blows

Newcastle United will be without full-backs Kieran Trippier and Javier Manquillo for the trip to West Ham United on Saturday.

Both players limped off injured during the 1-0 victory against Aston Villa at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon.

Here, we take a look at the Magpies’ current injury list and the potential return dates:

Kieran Trippier

The injury

Trippier fractured the fifth metatarsal in his left foot during the 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.

Newcastle, in a statement released on Monday morning, did not specify a return date for the England right-back.

Initial suggestions were six weeks on the sidelines, however according to Premier Injuries expert Ben Dinnery, it could take 80 days to recover from.

What Eddie Howe has said

Eddie Howe is set to provide an update on Trippier when he faces the media on Friday ahead of visiting West Ham United.

Potential return date

Either Wolves at home on April 9 (if six weeks) or Manchester City away on May 7 (if 80 days i.e. 11-and-a-half-weeks).

Javier Manquillo

The injury

It was feared Manquillo had suffered ankle ligament damage after a painful-looking tangle with Aston Villa’s Emi Buendia.

As reported by NewcastleWorld on Wednesday, the injury is understood not to be as bad as first thought.

The Spaniard is likely to be out for two weeks.

What Eddie Howe has said

Howe is set to confirm Manquillo’s injury status when he faces the media on Friday morning.

Potential return date

Brighton and Hove Albion at home on March 5.

Jamaal Lascelles

The injury

Lascelles missed Newcastle’s match versus Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon through illness.

What Eddie Howe has said

Speaking on Sunday, Howe said: “Lascelles was illness, picked up in the last couple of days.”

Potential return date

West Ham United away this weekend (February 19).

Federico Fernandez

The injury

Fernandez was ruled out with a calf problem in the early weeks of December.

What Eddie Howe has said

Speaking last Monday, Howe said: “Fede Fernandez is making good progress but still hasn’t trained with the group.

“Fede is having his first day with sports science, so he’s edging closer to a return to training.”

Potential return date

There is an outside chance Fernandez could return for the trip to Brentford on February 26.

Callum Wilson

The injury

Newcastle’s top scorer picked up a calf injury during the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on December 27 at St James’ Park.

What Eddie Howe has said

Howe said: “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

Unknown, but likely to be sometime in April or possibly even May.

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 a part from confirming it is a “longer-term” injury.

Potential return date

Not yet known.
