"Defender Livramento previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his time at Southampton, leading to fears of a prolonged spell on the sidelines when the full-back was stretchered off during Newcastle's defeat by Arsenal at St James' Park on Sunday. The 22-year-old subsequently missed out on Thomas Tuchel's squad for England's upcoming internationals against Wales and Latvia. No player has played more minutes (646) in the opening weeks of Newcastle's Premier League season than Livramento."
"Newcastle are also without Yoane Wissa, who signed from Brentford for 55m on deadline day but is yet to make his first appearance. The 29-year-old suffered a knee injury while on international duty with DR Congo in September. "Yoane saw a specialist again yesterday for a check-up on his knee," Howe said. "We probably think now it'll be eight weeks rather than six. No recurrence or problem, just slightly longer.""
Tino Livramento has an estimated eight-week recovery after scans and a specialist assessment. Livramento previously suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at Southampton and was stretchered off during Newcastle's defeat by Arsenal, prompting fears of a long spell sidelined. The 22-year-old missed out on the England squad for upcoming internationals and has logged more minutes (646) than any Newcastle player this season. Yoane Wissa, signed from Brentford for £55m, remains unavailable after suffering a knee injury on international duty with DR Congo in September. A specialist check-up has extended Wissa's expected absence from six to around eight weeks, with no recurrence identified. Newcastle will be without both players for upcoming matches, including the home fixture against Nottingham Forest on Sunday at 14:00 BST.
