NewcastleStill 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.
Nearing return
Livramento (knee) is nearing a return to play, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We've got a couple of training days, but Tino has worked really well. They've had a couple of recovery periods, so they're both close."
Analysis: Livramento is still battling his injury, but is in the closest spot to a return he has been yet, with the defender earning a spot in a few recovery sessions. With the club set to take the field for four games in the next two weeks, he will hope for his return during that span, set to miss a fourth straight match against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Hopeful to train soon
Livramento (knee) is still waiting to get full clarification on his injury, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "It's a difficult one because there's quite a bit of information on Tino. We're waiting to get full clarification. We're hoping it's not serious at all and he can resume training quite quickly. But before confirming that, we want to be sure that we're right. We haven't got clarity on that but hopefully it's good news."
Analysis: Livramento is still being assessed and is awaiting full clarification on his knee injury suffered against Fulham in the Carabao Cup. The defender is unlikely to return this year and will hope to resume training quickly while receiving positive news from the scans. Lewis Miley is expected to continue starting in his new right back role for the Magpies while he is out.
Unlikely to return this year
Livramento (knee) is unlikely to return before 2026 due to the setback of his injury, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "We don't think it's a serious injury. The complication we have is that Tino has injured that knee before in a very similar area. That always makes the potential recovery time a little bit longer. I don't think we'll see him possibly before 2026."
Analysis: Livramento suffered a setback to his knee injury in the same area as his previous one, and although the issue is not considered serious, the defender is unlikely to return to the match squad before 2026, as this type of injury typically requires a longer recovery period. This is a massive blow for the Magpies, as they are running out of options in the backline due to injuries, which will force coach Eddie Howe to change his system or deploy players in unnatural positions, with Lewis Miley emerging as an option to feature in the backline.
Suffers knee problem
Livramento is already a doubt for Saturday's clash against Chelsea after suffering a knee problem in Wednesday's 2-1 victory against Fulham in the Carabao Cup, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Jordan Cronin from NewcastleWorld. "It looks like a knee problem, which Tino's had issues with knee injuries before so he had to come off, and he's such an honest, dependable lad. That sends worrying signs, really, for his participation maybe in the Chelsea game. Let's wait and see."
Analysis: Livramento will need to be assessed in the coming days after suffering a new knee problem in Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash against the Cottagers. The defender has been an undisputed starter when fit, and if he were to miss the game, it would be a major blow for the Magpies, given the numerous injuries in the backline that would force coach Eddie Howe to either change the system or field a very makeshift defense.
Injured against Fulham
Livramento came off with an apparent injury during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Fulham in the Carabao Cup.
Analysis: Livramento was injured during the closing stages of Wednesday's win over Fulham. The defender is yet another new senior injury to the squad, with Lewis Hall (hamstring) missing Wednesday's clash entirely. Livramento has a quick turn around before a Saturday clash with Chelsea or Newcastle could be forced to play with a very makeshift backline.
May be limited
Livramento could be limited in Tuesday's match against Marseille after just returning from injury, according to manager Eddie Howe. "That's a decision that I have to make. I have to consult the medical and sports science team to try and come up with the right decisions regarding both of those players."
Analysis: Livramento played the full 90 Saturday against City but may not be available for the same time in Tuesday's UCL outing, possibly limited after his return from injury. That said, it remains unknown if he could start in two straight matches, something the club will monitor after the injury to Kieran Trippier (hamstring). If Livrmento was on the bench to begin the match, Emil Krafth is his likely replacement at right-back.
Starting to face City
Livramento (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.
Analysis: Livranmento was though tot be an option Saturday and that has come to fruition, as the defender earned a spot in the starting XI immediately after his knee injury. He will hope to remain in this role after ending his absence dating back to September, as he was a regular starter to begin the season, with seven starts in seven appearances around multiple positions.
Could return Saturday
Livramento (knee) trained with the team during the international break and could make his return for Saturday's clash against Manchester City as he is in good shape, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "He's very close. He's trained in the international break which is great to see. He's such an important player for us and it's great to have him back training with the group. He's done a lot of work. He's been very, very good professionally with how he's dealt with the injury and the work he's done with the physios so I'd say he's in good shape."
Analysis: Livramento is very close from making his return after recovering from a knee injury. The defender trained fully over the international break and is in good shape according to coach Eddie Howe. Livramento will likely be assessed after the final training session to know if he can be part of the squad for Saturday's clash against Manchester City. That said, even if deemed fit enough for the game, he will likely be eased back into action after almost two months with playing.
