Newcastle United star Tino Livramento expected to be ruled out of the World Cup through injury | OneFootball

Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento has suffered a hamstring injury that will force him to miss the World Cup, according to The Telegraph.

Livramento is currently with England in North America but could be on his way back to Newcastle in a huge blow.

The Magpies star is now set to be replaced by Three Lions manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of their opening game against Croatia on Wednesday night.

Livramento’s fitness struggles are well documented, and he could only play 26 games across all competitions for the St. James’ Park club in 2025-26.

The 23-year-old missed almost the whole 2022-23 season at Southampton with a serious knee injury.

He dealt with hamstring and knee problems last term, eventually starting just 19 games across all competitions.

The Magpies star returned from a hamstring injury during the season but has suffered a recurrence from the look of things and is out of the World Cup.

It is also a huge blow for Newcastle who could do with potential suitors seeing him in action at the tournament.

Livramento has been linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester City, but his injury has potentially put paid to any summer move.

He has two years left on his Magpies contract but has not yet shown a willingness to sign an extension.

Newcastle had been expected to ask suitors for around £60 million for his services, but uncertainty has shrouded his future following the injury blow.

The youngster was out for almost two months with a thigh injury at the end of last season but was involved as a second-half substitute in the friendly game over New Zealand earlier this month.

Livramento will hope to be available before the new season starts in August, and Newcastle will hope his rehabilitation and recovery go smoothly.
