Newcastle manager Eddie Howe backs Kieran Trippier amidst setbacks, injury woes

Posted : 22 December 2023

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has firmly supported right back Kieran Trippier following his pivotal errors in the League Cup loss to Chelsea. Trippier's mistake led to Chelsea's late equalizer, and he missed a penalty in the shootout, contributing to Newcastle's exit from the competition.

 

Despite the setbacks, Howe expressed confidence in Trippier's resilience and emphasized the collective effort of the team. As a leader in the group, Trippier's strength of character will be crucial, according to Howe.

Looking ahead to Newcastle's upcoming Premier League clash against Luton Town, Howe acknowledged the challenges of playing at Luton, citing their competitive performances against top teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.

 

The manager anticipates a difficult match and aims to address the team's six-match away winless streak in all competitions. Additionally, Howe is contending with an injury crisis, with Moises Caicedo sustaining a sore injury from a harsh challenge and Emil Krafth requiring stitches for a deep cut on his shin.

 

Discussing player availability, Howe mentioned that decisions are yet to be made on Fabian Schar, Joelinton, and Alekander Isak. However, he expressed satisfaction with the recovery of Sven Botman, who played the first half against Chelsea. The manager highlighted Botman's strength and comfort during the assessment.

 

Sending best wishes to Luton captain Tom Lockyer, who suffered a cardiac arrest in the previous weekend's game, Howe acknowledged the perspective such incidents bring to football. Despite external circumstances, Howe emphasized the team's need to focus on their performance and seek a positive response against Luton.
