Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier has been ruled out of the Magpies trip to West Ham United next weekend after breaking a bone in his left foot.
The England full-back has been in fine form since his return to the Premier League in January and will be a huge loss to Newcastle during his absence.
The break came during the Magpies' clash with Aston Villa on Sunday and could see the defender miss out for a number of weeks. The Athletic are reporting that Trippier has sustained a fracture to his fifth metatarsal and will undergo surgery as a result.
