Newcastle right-back Tino Livramento returned to Premier League action against former club Chelsea on Saturday after recent injury struggles, and ex-Magpies defender John Anderson has been discussing the importance of having him back. Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, he said: "Having Livramento back is a big plus. Especially with [Barcelona on] Wednesday night in mind.

"That is not taking away from anything Kieran Trippier has done. At 35, to play the games he has done and the standard he is at, week in and week out, is all credit to him. But Livramento just gives you that something [extra].

"He has the pace, he is good going forwards, is excellent one-v-one as well. There is not many that get the better of him. "It was good for Eddie Howe that he made the changes [against Chelsea] and the players he brought in didn't let him down.
