Tino Livramento, Yoane Wissa, Lewis Hall and Jacob Ramsey - Newcastle United injury list & return dates
Here’s when Tino Livramento, Yoane Wissa, Lewis Hall and Jacob Ramsey return for Newcastle United.
Newcastle United will be without three senior players for their next Premier League clash with Brighton and Hove Albion next week.
Last time out, a big week for Newcastle began in perfect fashion as they thrashed Union SG 4-0 on Wednesday to get their Champions League campaign up-and-running. They then cruised to a relatively comfortable 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest to climb themselves from 15th to 11th and stay in touch with those above them.
Eddie Howe’s side picked up no fresh injuries from the busy week but remain without a quartet of key players. Here, we take a look at when those players are expected to return:
Tino Livramento
Newcastle feared the worst when Livramento was stretchered off with a knee injury in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.
The England international previously spent 13 months out with an ACL injury when he was at Southampton.

Speaking after the win against Union SG, Howe said: “Tino, we think, will be out roughly around six to eight weeks, which is probably positive from where we were after the game thinking it might be months.
“We're probably looking, not this international break, but maybe the next one he could be back. So certainly more positive than we initially thought.”
Expected return date
Manchester City (H), 22/10.
Yoane Wissa
Wissa joined Newcastle on deadline day from Brentford for £55million but is yet to make his debut after picking up a knee injury on international duty with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Providing an update on Wissa last week, Howe said: “He's here, and he's receiving treatment, no operation needed. Yeah, I think we're looking at the other side of the international break. We hope he can be fit and available for that first game.
“It was [a] huge [blow]. I mean, you go into the new season with your squad and you feel you've got your squad sort of settled and you've got a plan. And then, of course, we didn't even see Yoane. He's come back injured. And that was a difficult one, having outlaid the money that we have.
“We knew that Yoane was Premier League ready, as it were. You know, he knows the league inside and out and has scored goals in it. But I think, look, it happened.
“We have to deal with it. I think, touch wood, it's not a long-term injury. We get through the next few games and then he'll be back.”
Expected return date
Manchester City (H), 22/10.
Jacob Ramsey
Ramsey, a £39m summer signing from Aston Villa, made his debut as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat at home to Liverpool before starting the following game away to Leeds United.
However, the 24-year-old’s full debut was cut short after he hurt his ankle in a tackle with former Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff.

Speaking last week, Howe said: “Jacob’s on the grass, working hard, building his fitness back up. The plan, I think, was it would be the first game after the international break that's ahead of us. If it's any earlier than that, then of course he's ahead of schedule.”
Expected return date
Brighton & Hove Albion (A), 18/10.
Lewis Hall
Hall has endured a difficult year on Tyneside. Having established himself as Newcastle and England’s left-back at the start of last season, the player suffered an ankle injury which kept him out of action, post-operation, for around three months. And, upon making his return, Hall has again suffered a hamstring issue, which could keep him out anywhere from weeks to months.
What’s been said?
Speaking on October 6, Howe said: “Before we get conclusive evidence of how long he will be out, he needs a re-scan in about 10 days, I think it is. It’s not going to be a short-term injury. We hope it’s not going to be a long-term injury, but we don’t know yet.”
Expected return date
Unknown.
