"Newcastle United's late defeat by Arsenal at St. James' Park on Sunday afternoon was compounded by injury to star full-back Tino Livramento. The England international was stretchered from the field during the second half, while Newcastle were still leading, amid fears the defender had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Livramento spent a year out during his time at previous club Southampton after sustaining an ACL rupture,"
"Instead, it is reported that Livramento has instead sustained a medical collateral ligament (MCL) injury, the severity of which is still unknown and will depend on the outcome of a scan. Needless to say, the full-back will at the very least be expected to miss Newcastle's upcoming matches, including their second Champions League fixture of the season, which takes place on Wednesday against Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise."
Tino Livramento was stretchered off in the second half as Newcastle led Arsenal, amid initial fears of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Livramento previously missed a year at Southampton after an ACL rupture. Reports indicate the injury is instead to the medial collateral ligament (MCL), with severity to be confirmed by scan. The full-back is expected to miss upcoming fixtures, including Newcastle's Champions League match against Union Saint-Gilloise. Football injury expert @physioscout outlined recovery scenarios: a bone bruise (7–14 days), Grade One MCL (1–3 weeks), Grade Two (4–6 weeks), and Grade Three (6–10 weeks).
