Livramento and Almiron out for a month

In the presser, Howe clarified that both players will be out for around a month due to injuries they picked up in the thrilling 4-3 win against West Ham.

On Liveramento, Howe said: "Tino's was quite obvious when you looked back at the footage.

"Strange really as the ball hits his ankle before it hits the floor.

Thankfully it's not as serious as it could have been. He could be back quite quickly."

On Almiron: "Miggy tweaked his knee slightly.

"Again, not a serious injury but enough to keep him out."

Lewis Hall in contention after early Everton exit

The toon boss admitted that Hall left the field on Tuesday night due to "fatigue". The 19-year-old made his first start since November and managed 79 minutes before coming off.

On Hall, Howe said: "We hope he's fine and he'll be back training today.

"We anticipate he'll be part of the group."

Callum Wilson is making progress

Fans haven't seen Callum Wilson since the 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest in February after a bizarre upper limb injury. But the England international could return towards the end of the season.

On Wilson: "He's looking good. Of course it's an upper limb injury so he can keep fit and build his strength.

"He'll be looking good when he comes back."
