Newcastle's Livramento set to return in pre-season after missing World Cup

The 23-year-old picked ‌up the injury during England squad training ‌in June and was ⁠subsequently ‌ruled out of the squad ​for the World Cup, to be replaced ​by Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah.

"Newcastle United can confirm that ⁠Tino ​Livramento has successfully undergone a minor surgical procedure," the club said in ‌a statement.

"The defender ... is expected to return during pre-season."

Livramento made only 17 Premier League appearances for Newcastle, suffering two knee injuries that ruled him out for two months ‌before a hamstring injury ​in January sidelined him ‌for 15 matches.
