Gabby Agbonlahor has accused Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier of playing to the cameras with his 'silly' decision to travel with his team-mates for the victory at Brentford. The England international was pictured on crutches leaving the team bus in the capital on Saturday, and again in the dressing room celebration following the 2-0 win.
Trippier made an immediate impact on Tyneside after signing from Atletico Madrid in January, scoring free-kicks in successive home victories over Everton and Aston Villa. The 31-year-old was also handed the captaincy in the absence of Jamaal Lascelles for his last appearance against Steven Gerrard's side.
A foot injury which required surgery is expected to rule Trippier out for the majority of the remaining fixtures, although Eddie Howe is confident the right-back will play again this season. However, that has not stopped the former Tottenham full-back from continuing to support his team-mates despite requiring a moon boot on his left foot.
