Newcastle United are facing a key season, having returned to the UEFA Champions League and lost their star Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

Eddie Howe is aware of the campaign's relevance for the Magpies' fans, and the last thing he needs are injury blows to his squad.

Unfortunately, Newcastle suffered a scare against Arsenal, as Tino Livramento got injured, setting off alarms about a possible relapse of his previous ACL injury.

Since then, a couple of updates have emerged that keep the club's hopes alive.

The defender has already undergone a scan, but his knee "is still swollen," so the club is waiting before giving a more concrete update.

On the other hand, The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards also published an update, explaining that everything indicates it is not an ACL injury, which was the worst-case scenario.

It doesn’t sound like Tino Livramento has suffered another ACL injury, which is a relief. Will know more later this week, but he’s likely to be out for a while whatever it is. Huge loss #nufc

Edwards did not rule out that Livramento will be out for a while, regardless of the upcoming medical analyses.

It seems increasingly clear that Newcastle did not finish their duties during the summer transfer window, and they will surely be active in January.
