Lewis Hall to miss rest of season as Newcastle suffer major blow ahead of Carabao Cup final against Liverpool | OneFootball

The 20-year-old left-back requires surgery on a foot injury

Lewis Hall has been ruled out of the rest of the season with a foot injury.

The left-back has been one of Newcastle’s most consistent performers this season and made his senior debut for England in November.

It has now been confirmed that the 20-year-old will require surgery, bringing a premature end to his campaign.

The club said in a statement: “Lewis Hall will miss the rest of the 2024/25 season after sustaining an injury to a bone in his foot.

“Following a scan and advice from a specialist, Lewis will undergo surgery before a period of rehabilitation with the club’s medical team.

“Wishing you all the very best for your surgery and recovery, Lewis.”

It is a major blow to Newcastle ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on March 16.

There was a further injury scare when Alexander Isak limped off late in normal time against the Seagulls, but Howe was keen to play down those fears after the match.

“Alex just felt a bit of general tightness,” the Newcastle boss said.

“I don’t think it was an injury, it was just general tightness, but we felt as though he had to come off.”
