Newcastle have confirmed that Kieran Trippier has suffered a fracture in his foot, with the England international now expected to undergo surgery in a significant blow to the club’s survival hopes.
Trippier, who joined Newcastle from Atletico Madrid in January, has been in superb form since returning to the Premier League and scored the winning free-kick in the Magpies’ 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at the weekend.
