Newcastle defender Lewis Hall will miss the remainder of the season due to a foot injury that requires surgery.
The 20-year-old sustained the injury during Newcastle’s 2-0 Premier League defeat to Liverpool in February.
Newcastle confirmed in a statement that Hall will “undergo surgery before a period of rehabilitation with the club’s medical team.” The club added, “Everyone at Newcastle United wishes Lewis the very best with his surgery and recovery.”
Hall has become Newcastle’s first-choice left-back this season, making 27 Premier League appearances. He also made his England debut in November, coming on as a substitute in a 3-0 Nations League victory against Greece.
Newcastle is currently sixth in the Premier League, trailing Chelsea in fifth by two points and Manchester City in fourth by three points.
