The northeast club didn’t give an exact timeframe for Trippier’s absence, only saying he “will be sidelined for the club’s upcoming fixtures.”

Trippier, one of five January signings the club, which has recently come under Saudi ownership, scored the winner from a direct free kick against Villa. He also curled home a free kick in the 3-1 victory over Everton last Tuesday.
Newcastle has won three straight games and has moved four points clear of the relegation zone.
