Tino suffers serious injury, misses clash with Benfica | OneFootball

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

“The specialist has confirmed it’s 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 player is thus expected to miss 11 games, including the Champions League clash against Benfica. He also won’t be able to help coach Thomas Tuchel, as England faces World Cup qualifiers against Latvia, Serbia, and Albania.

At the moment, Benfica still hasn’t earned any points in the Champions League, after another defeat against Chelsea. José Mourinho’s side sits in 33rd place in the competition. At the top of the table are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Inter, PSG, Arsenal, and Qarabag, each with two wins from two matches played.
