Newcastle United make Tino Livramento decision after learning of initial damage to star's knee
Newcastle faces squad selection challenges for the Champions League due to Livramento's knee injury and existing absences, with only 21 players allowed under UEFA rules.
- On September 28, 2025, Tino Livramento, Newcastle United full-back, was stretchered off with a knee injury at St James' Park and will miss Wednesday's Champions League trip.
- After a clattering challenge by Arsenal defender William Saliba, scans on Tuesday indicate knee ligament damage and Newcastle are seeking a second opinion while swelling subsides.
- Medics expect a six to eight week layoff for Tino Livramento, with medical assessments and scans indicating he will miss around 10 matches.
- Restricted to a 21-man Champions League squad, Eddie Howe, Newcastle United manager, cannot immediately include club captain Jamaal Lascelles but has Fabian Schar and Lewis Hall available for cover.
- With Yoane Wissa and Jacob Ramsey sidelined until after the October international break, Eddie Howe must protect legs, manage substitutions, and rely on tactical flexibility across Champions League and Premier League fixtures.
