Newcastle defender Sven Botman is facing up to nine months on the sidelines in a huge blow to manager Eddie Howe.
Botman, 24, will undergo a procedure to repair an anterior cruciate ligament next week after limping out of Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final loss at Manchester City.
The £32m signing from Lille in 2022, had only just returned from a knee injury sustained in September.
