Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe shares results of Kieran Trippier foot scan

Eddie Howe has shared the results of Kieran Trippier’s foot scan - but admits he may not be back as quickly as he hoped.

The E ngland full back saw a specialist on Friday with Howe forecasting then he could be back “quite quickly”. Now though it looks like Newcastle have been advised against rushing him back.

Howe, speaking after the 5-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur, said: “His injury is healing, it’s not totally healed. We will be able to start pushing him, maybe not as quickly as we initially wanted to, but I still think he’ll come back this season.

“Again, there’s no definitive date on that but he’s making good progress.”
