Est. Return 4/25/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Livramento broke through during the 2024/25 season with 32 starts in 37 appearances, reaching nearly 3,000 minutes. He played both left- and right-back, moving to the left side after Lewis Hall went down injured late in the season. Despite taking the spot of Kieran Trippier in the XI, his attacking numbers were fairly dour with just six shots and 26 chances created. He's a lock for the starting XI and has stayed healthy in his short career, but a lack of attacking upside limits him in fantasy with most of his numbers of the defensive variety for Newcastle.
Suffers thigh injury
Livramento (thigh) was forced off in the 74th minute of Saturday's match against Bournemouth and will undergo further examination to determine the severity of the injury, according to coach Eddie Howe, per Craig Hope.
ANALYSIS
Livramento has been sidelined by another injury setback, continuing a frustrating pattern after struggling to stay healthy. Manager Howe's description of the situation as a significant blow underlines how highly the right-back is valued in Newcastle's system. Kieran Trippier is expected to step in at right-back in Livramento's absence, providing experienced cover on that side

Still building fitness
Livramento is still building fitness and appears to be outside of a starting role until he is a bit healthier, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He probably hasn't done enough training for me to feel 100% confident he can be in the best physical moment to start, especially in such a big game, but he's in our squad. Anyone who is in that position is in contention to play, so it's a balance with Tino at the moment. He's a massive player for us, and it's great to have him back, but I have to try and get the team selection right."
