Kieran Trippier Injury Update
Kieran Trippier is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to be out for around one month, covering most of Newcastle United’s hectic December schedule. Magpie Media (@MagpieMediaX) shared on X that #NUFC right-back Kieran Trippier will be out for up to four weeks with a hamstring strain, according to @CraigHope_DM.
Eddie Howe confirmed that Trippier felt the issue in training, had a scan, and the medical team has advised a layoff of “roughly around a month, give or take,” which is about as precise as managers ever get in late‑November pressers. NUFC360 (@NUFC360) shared on X that Kieran Trippier is set to be out for around 4 weeks due to a hamstring injury.
Reports from multiple outlets suggest the initial hope of a “minor” problem has been quietly upgraded to something that needs a bit more caution, which makes sense for a 35‑year‑old full‑back who has already played a lot of minutes this season.
For Newcastle, the short version is: Trippier misses Everton away and then likely sits out a string of big games through December, including league clashes and cup/European fixtures, with estimates ranging from four to eight matches depending on how his hamstring responds.
The timing is brutal – festive period, heavy schedule, pressure for points – but there is at least a straightforward contingency plan, with Tino Livramento expected to step in at right‑back after his own return from injury, effectively a “one in, one out” situation in Eddie Howe’s back line. A small, maybe underrated detail here: Newcastle have been trying to sort a new contract for Trippier even as this injury hits, which tells you how important his leadership and delivery from wide areas still are, beyond just the raw minutes he plays.
In terms of a return date, most sources converge on late December 2025, with some fantasy and injury trackers pencilling in around 20 December as a sensible target if rehab goes smoothly. Realistically, the internal hope seems to be that he can feature either in the Boxing Day game against a top‑six rival or, at worst in Newcastle’s final match of 2025, giving him a clean slate heading into the new year.
Supporters have already started the familiar routine: checking every training gallery for a glimpse of him jogging on the grass, debating whether a month out might even help him come back fresher, and joking that if anyone can whip in a decent cross from the treatment room, it’s probably Kieran Trippier.
