A new injury is expected to affect Newcastle United’s main player for an additional three weeks.

After hobbling off at Everton on October 5, the 34-year-old has not appeared. At that time, NewcastleWorld disclosed that Trippier would be

absent from the Brighton match, which resulted in an unexpected 1-0 loss.Subsequently, it has been disclosed that the right-back will endure a protracted period of inactivity. Since the appointment of James Bunce as performance director in the summer, Eddie Howe has been particularly concerned with injuries and has taken extra precautions. The fitness expert, who was a close associate of Paul Mitchell, was recruited to address the club’s dismal injury record from the previous season. Newcastle endured an unprecedented 1,950 days of injury-related absences during the previous season, which is a Premier League record.

While Trippier was absent for three games, Emil Krafth and Tino Livramento have stepped in to provide coverage. Although Livramento, who was acquired from Southampton for £35 million a year ago, has the greater potential, there is a growing consensus that Howe should select the less glamorous Swede for his dependability. Newcastle has won 10 of the 14 games that Krafth has started in 2024, with two setbacks. In contrast, Livramento has not yet been able to replicate the promising performance of last season when presented with the opportunity. Trippier is not in a haste to return, as both players offer sufficient options at the Premier League level. The home encounter against West Ham United on November 25, which follows the upcoming international break, may serve as a potential comeback date.
