NewcastlePlays 45 minutes in EFL Cup
Livramento came off the bench in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Millwall in the EFL Cup.
Analysis: Livramento entered the game during the HT break and replaced Amar Dedic, who has been the starter at right-back in the early stages of the season. Livramento will look to continue building up match fitness when the Magpies take on Leeds United on Monday, though he's still a bit away from starting a league match. Until he's ready to start, Dedic and Lewis Hall should continue to operate as the Magpies' full-backs.
Won't start in Carabao Cup
Livramento won't start in Tuesday's Carabao Cup tilt against Millwall, according to manager Matthias Jaissle. "We need to wait until he is 100% ready. He has huge potential, and we can't wait to have him back," Jaissle said, while replying "no" when asked if Livramento was ready to start Tuesday.
Analysis: Livramento made his season debut as a substitute for Lewis Hall in last week's draw against Bournemouth, but after missing all of preseason and the first three competitive matches of the 2026/27 campaign, he's not ready to start yet. Even though Newcastle are widely expected to rotate the squad Tuesday, Livramento's focus for the time being is on recovering his match fitness, so he won't crack the XI in this midweek cup tie. His next chance to start will come in the Premier League against Leeds United on Monday, Sept. 14.
Option off bench
Livramento (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Bournemouth.
Analysis: Livramento makes his return to the matchday squad after being fully integrated into team training since late August, with coach Matthias Jaissle stopping short of handing him a starting role despite expressing hope that his comeback was imminent. The full-back had been absent for an extended period, and Newcastle opted to manage his workload carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight back into the starting lineup. Amar Dedic is expected to continue at right-back, with Livramento available to provide cover as the club eases him back into competitive action.
Closing in on return
Livramento (calf) continues to work toward his return after being fully integrated into team training, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "Tino, hopefully, comes soon back."
Analysis: Livramento has been training fully since late August following his lengthy absence, but Matthias Jaissle remains cautious about confirming when the full-back will return to competitive action. Saturday's clash against Bournemouth could still come too soon, especially given Newcastle's desire to carefully manage his workload after the extended layoff. Amar Dedic should continue to start at right-back until Livramento is cleared for match action.
Back in training but not ready yet
Livramento (calf) is back in training but won't be an option for Saturday's contest against Tottenham Hotspur, according to manager Matthias Jaissle. "We are happy now that he is back in training and he is now also fully integrated. He still follows somehow an individual programme but sooner than later. He is fully back in training and then we can talk about squad plannings when he will be able to be in the matchday squads and getting the first minutes," he said. "But, again, step by step. He was long out and we want to take our time and learn out of the past. Giving him rather one week longer than shorter to have him on a consistent basis back."
Analysis: The England international is back in full training and trending in the right direction, but based on Jaissle's comments, it seems this game will come a bit too soon for the full-back. Newcastle are taking a cautious approach with Livramento, so the Sep. 5 match against Bournemouth might be a more realistic return date for him. In the meantime, Amar Dedic should continue to start on the right side of the defense with Lewis Hall on the opposite flank.
Ruled out of season opener
Livramento (calf) is out for Sunday's season opener against Liverpool, according to coach Matthias Jaissle. "It is too early to say on Tino, he was partially involved, but we need to be smart with his progress now. We need to wait until he is 100% fit."
Analysis: Livramento had only recently returned to partial training as he worked his way back from the calf injury suffered at the World Cup with England, and manager Matthias Jaissle's caution now confirms he won't be rushed back for the opener despite that progress. Amar Dedic could start in his place if he's built up enough training reps, with Lewis Miley also capable of covering the role. Livramento is expected to continue building toward full fitness with his return targeted for the coming weeks.
Rejoins full training
Livramento is back training alongside the rest of his teammates as of Wednesday, a positive sign with the Premier League season opener against Liverpool approaching, according to Keith Downie.
Analysis: Livramento's return to full training is a significant step forward as he works his way back from the calf injury he suffered at the World Cup with England. He's an undisputed starter at right back when fit, having made 17 Premier League appearances last season, including 14 starts, though he now faces fresh competition for the role following Newcastle's recent signing of Amar Dedic. Livramento is expected to continue building up his sharpness as the club finalizes its plans ahead of the opener. His timely return gives Newcastle United a fuller set of options at right back heading into the new campaign.
Back on the pitch
Livramento (calf) is back on the pitch as his recovery from the calf injury he suffered at the World Cup with England continues, the club announced.
Analysis: Livramento had been trailing behind his injured teammates in his recovery timeline, making this return to the pitch a positive step forward. He's an undisputed starter at right back when fit, having made 17 Premier League appearances last season, including 14 starts, though a difficult, injury hit campaign overall has the staff taking a cautious approach with his buildup. Livramento is expected to continue building toward full training as his recovery progresses.
Issue slows recovery
Livramento (calf) remains further behind his injured teammates in his recovery from the calf injury he suffered at the World Cup with England in June, according to coach Eddie Howe, per Chronicle Live. "They're all looking like they'll be back and available around La Manga, maybe Tino Livramento apart. I think the squad's in relatively good health"
Analysis: Livramento was forced to leave England's World Cup squad in June due to the issue, and his recovery timeline now appears to be trailing the club's other sidelined players heading into the La Manga training camp. The defender's pace and attacking threat from full back make his eventual return an important boost for Newcastle United once he's back to full fitness. He is expected to continue his individual recovery program as the rest of the squad progresses through preseason.
Misses friendly, continues rehab
Livramento (calf) missed Newcastle's first pre-season friendly, but was seen working in the gym on his recovery five days before the game, continuing to build back from calf injury and surgery that cost him the World Cup, the club posted.
Analysis: Livramento's summer has gone from a promising World Cup opportunity to injury setback. A calf problem in training forced him out of England's squad just days before the tournament began, leading to surgery back at Newcastle. Missing the club's first preseason friendly was already expected given how recently he went under the knife, and the gym work shown this week is a normal early stage of that rehab rather than a signal he's close to full training. Reports still have him weeks away, and the more meaningful update will come once he progresses to full sessions.
Undergoes minor surgery
Livramento (calf) has successfully undergone a minor surgical procedure after returning from World Cup duty with the injury, with the club expecting him back during preseason, the club announced.
Analysis: Livramento had withdrawn from England's World Cup squad with a calf issue, just weeks after recovering from a previous thigh problem that limited him to 45 minutes in a friendly against New Zealand. His successful procedure is a positive sign for Newcastle as they prepare for the 2026/27 campaign, with the defender expected to be ready by the time preseason work begins.
Set to miss 4-5 weeks
Livramento (calf) is expected to be inactive for "four or five weeks, which is unfortunately too long to keep on." following his withdrawal from England's squad for the World Cup, according to the national team's manager Thomas Tuchel, Henry Winter of World Soccer reports.
Analysis: Livramento won't take part in the major international competition, but his expected timeline suggests he'll be back for club action in the 2026/27 season. He had just recovered from a previous thigh issue, logging 45 minutes of play during an international friendly game against New Zealand. His place in the Three Lions' roster was taken by Trevoh Chalobah after the injury was confirmed.
Injury confirmed by England
Livramento (calf) has officially withdrawn from England's World Cup squad due to injury, the FA announced.
Analysis: Livramento had only recently returned to action after missing several weeks at the end of the season with a thigh issue, coming off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand, making the fresh setback a cruel blow for the Newcastle defender ahead of what would have been his first World Cup. Trevor Chalobah has been called up to fill the vacancy and is travelling to join the squad in the United States ahead of England's Group C campaign.
Could miss World Cup
Livramento is expected to be ruled out of the World Cup after suffering a hamstring injury before England's opener against Croatia, with coach Thomas Tuchel preparing to bring in a replacement with Trevoh Chalobah among the options being considered, according to Matt Law of The Telegraph.
Analysis: Livramento had only recently returned to action, coming off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand after missing several weeks with a thigh issue, making the fresh hamstring setback a cruel blow for the Newcastle defender. The FA has yet to officially confirm the news, but the expectation from within the camp is that Livramento will be unable to continue at the tournament, forcing manager Thomas Tuchel to make an injury-related squad change before the opener against Croatia.
Plays in second half Saturday
Livramento (thigh) came off the bench in England's 1-0 friendly win over New Zealand on Saturday.
Analysis: Livramento was spotted in practice earlier this week and was able to log 45 minutes in a dominant win over New Zealand. The Newcastle full-back should be a depth piece in the World Cup and sits behind Nico O'Reilly and Reece James in the race for playing time.
Present in England's practice
Livramento (thigh) is part of the English national team's training group ahead of the World Cup kickoff, Henry Winter of The Football Boardroom reports.
Analysis: Livramento should be an option for the upcoming national-team competition despite being inactive since mid-April due to the issue. Still, the full-back may be more of a depth option behind Reece James and Nico O'Reilly. If he gets a chance to produce, Livramento might hold attacking upside as part of a team that has the potential to dominate in most of the initial fixtures.
Unlikely to return this season
Livramento (thigh) is unlikely to play again this season with Newcastle, according to coach Eddie Howe. "Tino is doing well, he is improving. Don't think he will be back this season. We will let him recover and get a good summer behind him."
Analysis: Livramento has had a deeply disrupted campaign managing various injury issues, and the decision to shut him down for the remaining fixtures is the sensible call given the risk of aggravating the thigh problem further. The full-back will now focus on a full recovery with the World Cup also on the horizon this summer, with Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall continuing to cover at full-back for Newcastle's final fixtures of the season. Livramento ends the season with one assist, 36 crosses, 22 tackles and 39 clearances in 17 Premier League appearances (14 starts).
Set for second scan
Livramento (thigh) is set for a secondary scan and could potentially be an option for the final two games of the season, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Livramento was off early in the club's last outing, and the full extent of his injury and absence is still unknown, as the full-back is facing a secondary scan to confirm his options for the end of the season. Unfortunately, best case scenario isthat he could return for the final game or two of the season. This would be a better outcome than missing out completely, as he has struggled with injury most of the season in a rough campaign, just trying to be fit for World Cup selection. While he is out, Kierran Trippier and Lewis Hall should serve as full-backs.
Suffers thigh injury
Livramento (thigh) was forced off in the 74th minute of Saturday's match against Bournemouth and will undergo further examination to determine the severity of the injury, according to coach Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope.
Analysis: Livramento has been sidelined by another injury setback, continuing a frustrating pattern after struggling to stay healthy. Manager Howe's description of the situation as a significant blow underlines how highly the right-back is valued in Newcastle's system. Kieran Trippier is expected to step in at right-back in Livramento's absence, providing experienced cover on that side
Still building fitness
Livramento is still building fitness and appears to be outside of a starting role until he is a bit healthier, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He probably hasn't done enough training for me to feel 100% confident he can be in the best physical moment to start, especially in such a big game, but he's in our squad. Anyone who is in that position is in contention to play, so it's a balance with Tino at the moment. He's a massive player for us, and it's great to have him back, but I have to try and get the team selection right."
Analysis: Livramento returned to the bench over the weekend for FA Cup play, receiving 10 minutes from the bench. That said, it doesn't appear the defender is yet fit enough to start, still needing to do a bit more work in training. He will likely only be a bench option to face Barcelona on Tuesday, more likely to start when facing Chelsea on Saturday.
