"textContent": "\n\n\nEngland star Tino Livramento faces a desperate battle to demonstrate his fitness before the World Cup after sustaining his fourth injury of what has been a deeply frustrating campaign.\n\nThe Newcastle defender, aged 23, picked up a thigh complaint during the Magpies' 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth last week, forcing him to leave the pitch.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe former Southampton player is scheduled for a second scan this weekend to establish the severity of the problem, with his participation in Thomas Tuchel's England squad now hanging in the balance.\n\nNewcastle manager Eddie Howe has admitted uncertainty over whether the full-back will feature again before the season concludes.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n\"He went for a scan initially. We don't think it's a bad injury. We'll wait and see whether he'll play again this season,\" Howe explained.\n\nThe Magpies boss confirmed that further medical assessment would provide clarity on the situation.\n\n\"He's due to have another scan at the weekend, and that will determine the full extent of it,\" he added.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nWhile initial indications suggest the injury may not be severe, the timing could hardly be worse for the England international with the World Cup approaching.\n\nWhether Livramento can recover in time to stake his claim for a place in Tuchel's squad remains uncertain.\n\nLivramento has earned five caps for England and appeared in both of last month's international friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n### LATEST SPORTS NEWS:\n\n\n\n\n * Luke Littler sends fresh message to booing fans after Premier League win\n * Football Focus and the other sporting programmes that have suffered for 'being woke'\n * Cristiano Ronaldo bans drink consumed by 80 per cent of the world's population to stay in shape at 41\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHis capacity to operate on either flank made him a particularly appealing selection for Tuchel ahead of the tournament.\n\nHowever, a season plagued by fitness issues has severely curtailed his involvement at club level, with the defender managing just 14 Premier League starts for Newcastle.\n\nThe repeated setbacks have prevented him from building any sustained momentum or rediscovering the form that made him such a valuable asset.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nHis versatility would have been a significant asset for the Three Lions, but availability remains the primary concern.\n\nHowe praised the defender's psychological resilience despite the challenging circumstances.\n\n\"Tino's very level-headed, very stable mentally. He's had a frustrating season, such a good season last year,\" the Newcastle manager said.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe contrast with the previous campaign could not be starker, when Livramento proved himself an integral part of the squad.\n\n\"He was outstanding, was fit and available and really contributed to what we delivered,\" Howe reflected.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"This year's been different, and that's just the life of a footballer I'm afraid. He's never been able to get that run of games to really find his best form.\"\n\nHowe concluded: \"An outstanding player, we just hope he has a better run of health.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
