Kieran Trippier injury: Full-back expected to make return after international break
With the England international ruled out for a couple of weeks, Howe is hopeful the experienced 33-year-old can make his club return after the upcoming international break.
Set to miss next week’s league game against Chelsea, as well as the Geordies’ FA Cup quarter-final tie against Manchester City (March 16), Trippier’s absence will serve as a huge blow.
However, there is some good news when it comes to the extent of the former Atletico Madrid star’s recent setback — the full-back, all being well, is expected to return in time to face West Ham at St. James’ Park on March 30.
