Tino Livramento has made 88 appearances for Newcastle United since joining from Southampton in 2023 Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says Tino Livramento's eight-week recovery forecast is "good news" but the wait for Yoane Wissa's debut will be "slightly longer". 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. "He went to see a specialist a couple of days ago because the scan maybe looked better than we initially thought, " Howe said. "The specialist confirmed it's roughly an eight-week injury. "A blow to lose him, but for what it could have been, it is good news. " 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. " Newcastle host Premier League strugglers Nottingham Forest at 14: 00 BST on Sunday.
