Tino suffers serious injury, misses clash with Benfica | OneFootball

Eddie Howe, Newcastle's coach, confirmed that Tino Livramento will be out of action for about two months due to an injury. The English international did not finish the match on Sunday against Arsenal (2-1), leaving the field on a stretcher in the 77th minute.

“The specialist confirmed it is an eight-week injury, which is a blow for us considering the number of games we have during this period. It's a ligament injury and it will take time to fully recover,” said the coach of the English team.

The athlete is expected to miss 11 games, including the Champions League clash against Benfica. He will also not be able to assist coach Thomas Tuchel, as England faces World Cup qualifying matches against Latvia, Serbia, and Albania.

At the moment, Benfica remains without points in the Champions League, after another defeat against Chelsea. José Mourinho's team occupies the 33rd place in the competition. At the top of the standings are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter, PSG, Arsenal, and Qarabag, with two wins in two matches played.

Before that, Benfica will return to the field next Sunday, October 5th, at 9:15 PM, at Estádio do Dragão, against Porto. The game pertains to the eighth round of Liga Portugal Betclic and will be played against the team led by Francesco Farioli.
