Newcastle and England suffer Trippier blow

Newcastle United's next two matches will not feature club captain and right back Kieran Trippier.

The defender is set to be out of action as a calf scan has revealed a serious issue.

Per The Mail, the injury is worse than Trippier and the Magpies had initially feared.

He is also a doubt for England's upcoming international games against Brazil and Belgium.

The ideal return date for Trippier, given this news, is being set for March 30th.

The Magpies take on West Ham United in the Premier League at St. James' Park that day.
