Eddie Howe's team news update: Schär and Livramento injury latest ahead of Forest
Eddie Howe's team news update: Schär and Livramento injury latest ahead of Forest Howe will be without the services of Lewis Miley for the remainder of the current campaign, with the 20-year-old midfielder fracturing his fibula during training earlier this week and provided injury updates on Schär and Livramento. The Magpies face a Forest side who are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League outings but Howe's side are targeting a fifth successive win at the City Ground [kick-off 2pm BST]. Here are some of the boss' main talking points from Friday's pre-match media briefing at the Newcastle United Media Centre...
On Miley's injury... "It was a really innocuous moment, training on Tuesday. There was no other player involved.
He was unable to continue and it was a little more serious than we thought. "The surgery went well, he now faces a few months out, we hope he will be back in and around pre-season. It is a shame as he was playing well, outstanding in recent weeks and we really missed him.
"A real blow for us but also for Lewi It's been a huge frustration for him. " On Livramento's progress... "Tino is doing well.
He is improving, back running on the grass, but I don’t think he will be back this season. "We could maybe push him for the Fulham game but that would feel silly. We will let him recover and get a good summer behind him.
