It was nice while it lasted. That’s what fans of the game must have thought. Newcastlethat today they have been able to know that Kieran Trippier will be away from the pitch for more than six weeks. The side has broken a bone in his footso it is expected that he will receive surgery, as published The Athletic.
Trippier was forced to leave the pitch due to discomfort in Newcastle’s last game, held yesterday Sunday. The defender wore the captain’s armband for the first time, in his fourth game as a magpie. And despite the fact that he started in the best possible way, with a great free-kick goal, the former athlete had to leave before reaching the 50th minute, as soon as the second half began.
The injury, confirmed by Newcastle itself, is a blow to those at St. James Park, who with Trippier on the field have won their last three Premier League games. So it’s not surprising that the defender was named the best player of the mapgpies this month.
