Newcastle’s Lewis Miley Fractures Fibula in Training to Miss Rest of Season

The 20-year-old is expected to be fit for pre-season following a specialist assessment.

Overview

  • Newcastle said the midfielder fractured his right fibula in training on Tuesday, ruling him out of the season’s final three matches.
  • The club stated he will visit a specialist before starting rehab with its medical team, with a return targeted for the start of pre-season.
  • His absence triggers changes at right-back, with Kieran Trippier in line to start while Tino Livramento remains a doubt.
  • Miley has made 34 appearances across all competitions this season, stepping in at right-back after earlier minutes in his natural midfield role.
  • Local reporting indicates Newcastle plan to keep Miley long term, with the club expected to resist bids and open talks over a new contract.
