Tino Livramento knee ligament damage confirmed as Newcastle United learn injury fate
Newcastle United feared the worst after Tino Livramento was stretchered off against Arsenal at the weekend.
Tino Livramento will reportedly miss up to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury against Arsenal.
Newcastle United feared the worst when the England international was stretched off on Sunday. Livramento spent 13 months on the sidelines as a Southampton player due to an ACL tear.
Any long-term absence to the 22-year-old would have dealt a serious blow to Newcastle’s season. Since arriving in 2023, Livramento has developed into a Three Lions international and arguably the club’s best defender.
He is equally adept at left-back and right-back - a useful trait for the Magpies given the hectic fixture schedule. Thankfully for Newcastle, Livramento has been given some much-needed positive news to ease the weekend’s blow.
Tino Livramento injury confirmed
Sky Sports report that Livramento will face between six and eight weeks on the treatment table. While the setback will rule the defender out for around 10 games, it is not the season-ending injury many feared.
Eddie Howe urged caution when speaking to reporters at his Champions League pre-match press conference yesterday. Livramento had a scan on Monday and will now undergo rehabilitation as he aims to make a return before the festive fixture list kicks in.

‘Let’s wait and see’ - Eddie Howe
Howe stayed coy on Livramento’s injury when grilled by the press 24 hours ago. He said: “I’m better off waiting before giving any indication on that because that could be a mistake. Let’s wait and see in the next couple of days.”
Tino Livramento loving Newcastle United life
Livramento is keen for more success on Tyneside after clinching the Carabao Cup last season. He said over the summer: “I knew that they (Newcastle) were a big club when I joined. They were already in the Champions League the summer when I arrived.
“So even that was a massive thing for me. To win anything for this club has been a massive achievement, and long may it continue. You see what it means to them. They come to the games, but across the city, you see that everybody here supports the club, and it was great to bring a cup home for them.”
