Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier admits to have been through a tough period having missed almost three months of action with a fractured metatarsal.
The 31-year-old returned to England earlier this year and joined Newcastle for £12million in January and had showed to be a brilliant signing by Eddie Howe. Trippier made his debut for Newcastle in a FA Cup defeat to Cambridge United before starting in each of their next four league games, scoring in the last two of them.
Trippier, five days after his first goal during a win over Everton, was given the captaincy for a meeting with Aston Villa at St James’ Park. The former Tottenham Hotspur man opened the scoring with his second free-kick goal in as many games during the 1-0 win, but was forced off early in the second half after suffering a foot injury that later proved to be a break.
