Newcastle United latest injury blow confirmed in official statement - not again
Newcastle United injuries: Tino Livramento’s injury has been officially confirmed by the Football Association.
Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento has officially withdrawn from the England squad, an FA statement has confirmed.
It’s the second successive England squad the 23-year-old has been forced to withdraw from due to injury. In the summer, Livramento was part of England’s World Cup squad but was sent home on the eve of the tournament after picking up a thigh injury.
Just as he was about to mark his return to Newcastle’s starting line-up in the absence of Amar Dedic, Livramento suffered a fresh setback on Friday that ruled him out of the 2-1 win over Hull City and England’s upcoming Nations League matches.
