Newcastle United injury list & return dates - Tino Livramento, Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman & others.
Newcastle United ended 2025 with a win after beating Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor.
The Magpies have reached the halfway point in their Premier League season and it hasn’t exactly gone as planned, with a run of inconsistent results leaving them 10th in the table.
It’s been mentioned many times already, but United need to turn a corner and hope the win against Burnley will do just that.
Eddie Howe’s side now face back-to-back home games against Crystal Palace and Leeds United and will hope to be boosted by the return of some players from injury.
Here’s Newcastle United’s injury list and expected return dates...
Elanga missed the Boxing Day defeat away to Manchester United after picking up a knock at the end of the Chelsea game six days earlier. He again wasn’t in the squad against Burnley.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Howe said: “Yeah, he just took a knock against Chelsea. We don't think it's too serious. We hope to have him back pretty quickly.”
Expected return date
Kieran Trippier
Trippier picked up a hamstring issue in the week leading up to the 2-1 win over Manchester City on November 11.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Howe hopes to have Trippier back “in and around the New Year”.
Speaking about his injury, Trippier said recently: “It was an unfortunate one, I was in training taking a set piece and there’s nothing you can do - it’s out of my control. All I can do is focus on getting fit as quickly as possible, but respectfully in the right way.
“These things happen and I’ve been in this position before. I’m old enough to understand and be professional in the way I handle my rehab and I’ll be back soon.”
Expected return date
Crystal Palace (H) 04/01.
Sven Botman
Botman has missed the last nine games having had an injection to try and sort a back issue.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Speaking ahead of Man United game, Howe said: “Sven would be in the category of a group of players that's doing well. Again, we hope to get him back pretty soon.
“When that day is, I'm not 100% sure. Again, he hasn't trained with the group yet but potentially good news. I don't think he's too far away.”
Expected return date
Crystal Palace (H) 04/01.
Jamaal Lascelles
Lascelles resumed training earlier last week but is back in the treatment room.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Howe said on Friday: “Jamaal's not feeling great in his body at the moment so I don't think that's an option for us.”
Expected return date
TBC
Emil Krafth
The Sweden international picked up a knee injury during the November international break.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Similar to Trippier, Howe hopes to have Krafth back available in and around the New Year.
Expected return date
Crystal Palace (H), 04/01.
Will Osula
Osula pulled out of the matchday squad for the Champions League win over Athletic Club on November 5 and hasn’t been seen since.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Speaking after the Fulham win, Howe said: “Unfortunately, Will's not sort of imminent in his return. We've got a lot of players that are close to returning in around New Year. That's not quick enough for us at the moment.”
Expected return date
Leeds United (H) 07/01.
Tino Livramento
Livramento picked up his second knee injury of the campaign after being forced to withdraw in the 74th minute against Fulham last Wednesday.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Howe said on Tuesday: “It's a difficult one because there's quite a bit of information on Tino. We're waiting to get full clarification.
“We're hoping it's not serious at all and he can resume training quite quickly but before confirming that, we want to be sure we're right. We haven't got clarity on that but hopefully it's good news.”
Expected return date
AFC Bournemouth (H), 10/01.
Dan Burn
Burn went into a challenge with Sunderland full-back Nordi Mudieke and came out with a rib injury and punctured lung.
What’s Eddie Howe said?
Howe said last week: “Yeah, it was sort of under the radar really in terms of reviewing the game, the importance of Dan and losing him just for everything that he brings to the team. That was a big blow for us. I think he's been excellent in recent weeks.
“So yeah, it's a rib problem with some issue with his lungs. We wish him well. It will be probably around four to six weeks.”
Expected return date
AFC Bournemouth (H), 10/01.
