NewcastleSet to miss 4-5 weeks
Livramento (calf) is expected to be inactive for "four or five weeks, which is unfortunately too long to keep on." following his withdrawal from England's squad for the World Cup, according to the national team's manager Thomas Tuchel, Henry Winter of World Soccer reports.
Analysis: Livramento won't take part in the major international competition, but his expected timeline suggests he'll be back for club action in the 2026/27 season. He had just recovered from a previous thigh issue, logging 45 minutes of play during an international friendly game against New Zealand. His place in the Three Lions' roster was taken by Trevoh Chalobah after the injury was confirmed.
Injury confirmed by England
Livramento (calf) has officially withdrawn from England's World Cup squad due to injury, the FA announced.
Analysis: Livramento had only recently returned to action after missing several weeks at the end of the season with a thigh issue, coming off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand, making the fresh setback a cruel blow for the Newcastle defender ahead of what would have been his first World Cup. Trevor Chalobah has been called up to fill the vacancy and is travelling to join the squad in the United States ahead of England's Group C campaign.
Could miss World Cup
Livramento is expected to be ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury before England's opener against Croatia, with coach Thomas Tuchel preparing to bring in a replacement with Trevoh Chalobah among the options being considered, according to Matt Law of The Telegraph.
Analysis: Livramento had only recently returned to action, coming off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand after missing several weeks with a thigh issue, making the fresh hamstring setback a cruel blow for the Newcastle defender. The FA has yet to officially confirm the news, but the expectation from within the camp is that Livramento will be unable to continue at the tournament, forcing manager Thomas Tuchel to make an injury-related squad change before the opener against Croatia.
Plays in second half Saturday
Livramento (thigh) came off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand on Saturday.
Analysis: Livramento was spotted in practice earlier this week and was able to log 45 minutes in a dominant win over New Zealand. The Newcastle full-back should be a depth piece in the World Cup and sits behind Nico O'Reilly and Reece James in the race for playing time.
Present in England's practice
Livramento (thigh) is part of the English national team's training group ahead of the World Cup kickoff, Henry Winter of The Football Boardroom reports.
Analysis: Livramento should be an option for the upcoming national-team competition despite being inactive since mid-April due to the issue. Still, the full-back may be more of a depth option behind Reece James and Nico O'Reilly. If he gets a chance to produce, Livramento might hold attacking upside as part of a team that has the potential to dominate in most of the initial fixtures.
Unlikely to return this season
Livramento (thigh) is unlikely to play again this season with Newcastle, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Tino is doing well, he is improving. Don't think he will be back this season. We will let him recover and get a good summer behind him."
Analysis: Livramento has had a deeply disrupted campaign managing various injury issues, and the decision to shut him down for the remaining fixtures is the sensible call given the risk of aggravating the thigh problem further. The full-back will now focus on a full recovery with the World Cup also on the horizon this summer, with Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall continuing to cover at full-back for Newcastle's final fixtures of the season. Livramento ends the season with one assist, 36 crosses, 22 tackles and 39 clearances in 17 Premier League appearances (14 starts).
Set for second scan
Livramento (thigh) is set for a secondary scan and could potentially be an option for the final two games of the season, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Livramento was off early in the club's last outing, and the full extent of his injury and absence is still unknown, as the full-back is facing a secondary scan to confirm his options for the end of the season. Unfortunately, best case scenario isthat he could return for the final game or two of the season. This would be a better outcome than missing out completely, as he has struggled with injury most of the season in a rough campaign, just trying to be fit for World Cup selection. While he is out, Kierran Trippier and Lewis Hall should serve as full-backs.
Suffers thigh injury
Livramento (thigh) was forced off in the 74th minute of Saturday's match against Bournemouth and will undergo further examination to determine the severity of the injury, according to coach Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope.
Analysis: Livramento has been sidelined by another injury setback, continuing a frustrating pattern after struggling to stay healthy. Manager Howe's description of the situation as a significant blow underlines how highly the right-back is valued in Newcastle's system. Kieran Trippier is expected to step in at right-back in Livramento's absence, providing experienced cover on that side
Still building fitness
Livramento is still building fitness and appears to be outside of a starting role until he is a bit healthier, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He probably hasn't done enough training for me to feel 100% confident he can be in the best physical moment to start, especially in such a big game, but he's in our squad. Anyone who is in that position is in contention to play, so it's a balance with Tino at the moment. He's a massive player for us, and it's great to have him back, but I have to try and get the team selection right."
Analysis: Livramento returned to the bench over the weekend for FA Cup play, receiving 10 minutes from the bench. That said, it doesn't appear the defender is yet fit enough to start, still needing to do a bit more work in training. He will likely only be a bench option to face Barcelona on Tuesday, more likely to start when facing Chelsea on Saturday.
On bench Saturday
Livramento (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Manchester City.
Analysis: Livramento returns to the matchday squad against Manchester City after progressing in his recovery through individual training sessions. The full-back has not yet fully rejoined team training and begins the match on the bench as he continues building fitness. Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall continue to start at full-back while Livramento works his way back to full match readiness.
Getting closer to return
Livramento (hamstring) is getting closer to the matchday squad but remains a doubt for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Manchester City, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Tino [Livramento] is getting there, let's wait and see. He hasn't trained with us yet, but he has done a lot of work. He has a lot of work behind him, but it is just that training time with us."
Analysis: Livramento still hasn't rejoined team training, though he's been putting in plenty of individual work and is edging closer to a return to the matchday squad. The full-back hasn't been officially ruled out for Saturday's FA Cup clash against Manchester City, but the timing could still be a bit tight for him to make the cut. Until he's back up to full speed, Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall are expected to continue handling the heavier workload at full-back.
Nearing return to match squad
Livramento (hamstring) is nearing a return to the match squad but Wednesday's clash against Manchester United might come too soon for him, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Tino is getting closer and closer, this game possibly comes too soon for him, we are desperate for him to become available."
Analysis: Livramento is in the final stretch of his recovery and is closing in on a return to the matchday squad in the upcoming fixtures. Wednesday's showdown against Manchester United could arrive a bit too soon, even though coach Eddie Howe hasn't officially ruled him out, but Saturday's FA Cup battle with Manchester City is firmly on the radar. Until he is back at full throttle, Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall continue to log heavier minutes in the full-back rotation.
Could return next week
Livramento (hamstring) could make his return next week but hasn't trained with the group yet, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "I think Tino [Livramento] will be early March, he has done well, he has been training and running for a period of time. I think when he comes back, he will be in a good place."
Analysis: Livramento is closing in on a return from the hamstring injury that has kept him out since early January and could be trending toward a comeback next week, though he has yet to rejoin full team training. His return would be a massive lift for the Magpies since he is a locked-in starter on the back line whenever he is fully fit and available. In the meantime, Lewis Hall and Kieran Trippier will continue to shoulder bigger responsibilities across the defense as they hold down those minutes.
Making good progress
Livramento (hamstring) is making good progress but is still expected to return in early March, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He's making good progress but I don't think we're going to shave too much time off the early March target for him."
Analysis: Livramento is trending in the right direction as he works his way back from a hamstring injury, but his projected return is still tracking for early March. The medical staff are expected to stay patient and avoid accelerating the final phase of his rehab in order to minimize the risk of any setback. In the meantime, Lewis Hall and Kieran Trippier are in line for an uptick in minutes while he continues his recovery.
Could return early March
Livramento (hamstring) is on track for a return near the start of March, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Tino's on track. I think early March was the diagnosis, the return to play (date), and at the moment he's back on grass, he's running, he's building his fitness back up, and we're happy with how he's doing."
Analysis: Livramento is still sidelined, but with a positive update Friday, a return could be within the next month. He is on track to be an option near the start of March, as the full-back has already started to run on grass again. This comes after already missing six games, potentially missing close to 10 games by the time he is back. Once fit, he will look to return to a starting role, earning time on both flanks of the defense this season.
Five to six weeks from return
Livramento (hamstring) is still five to six weeks away from making his return, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He's doing well. I believe he's having a scan today. A second scan to see the progress of his hamstring. Fingers crossed it's good news and if it is, he'll be back out running. We're still probably five to six weeks away and we're looking at an early March return, providing everything goes well."
Analysis: Livramento will be out running in the coming weeks but is still five to six weeks away from making his return that should happen in early March according to coach Eddie Howe. The defender suffered a new hamstring injury against Bournemouth in the FA Cup and is forced to spend some more time on the sidelines. Until he returns to full fitness, Lewis Hall and Kieran Tripper are expected to see increased playing time for the Magpies.
Out eight weeks
Livremento (hamstring) is set to miss the next eight weeks of action due to a hamstring injury, according to Keith Downie of Sky Sports.
Analysis: Livremento is looking at an extended absence after he was set for scans on an injury, as the defender has been confirmed to be out eight weeks due to a hamstring injury. This will leave him out until around mid-March, a rough absence that will see him miss numerous matches moving forward. This will leave them with less depth as UCL play starts back up again, forcing Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall to see most of the time at full-back.
Will be assessed Monday
Livramento will be assessed on Monday for the hamstring injury he suffered in Saturday's clash against Bournemouth, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "No major update, he will be having a scan today to understand the extent of the damage on his hamstring."
Analysis: Livramento suffered a hamstring injury in Saturday's Carabao Cup clash win against Bournemouth and will have a scan on Monday to determine the extent of the damage. The left back will likely be sidelined for a few weeks at least, which will give some starting chances to Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall in the backline during his recovery.
Picks up hamstring injury
Livramento has been confirmed to have suffered a hamstring injury and is set miss a "period of time" moving forward, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Livramento was forced off in FA Cup play Saturday and is heading towards the sidelines, with the defender already deemed to have suffered a hamstring injury. While no return date is yet in place, he is already set to miss a decent amount of time. The hope will be a return before the end of the month as matches continue to come quickly, although that is up in the air. Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall should see the start at full-back until Livramento returns.
Returns to play Sunday
Livramento (knee) appeared for 27 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Livramento would see the field Sunday after three games out due to a knee injury and is fit once again, with the defender earning a spot on the bench. He would earn 27 minutes of play from the bench, recording a chance created and a clearance in his time on the field. He will look to return to a starting role at full-back in the coming matches, with Kieran Trippier (hamstring) also nearing a return to play.
