Kieran Trippier, a key defender for England, has announced his retirement from international football after a distinguished career that saw him earn 54 caps and play in four major tournaments. The 33-year-old Newcastle defender is best known for his stunning free kick in the 2018 World Cup semi-final against Croatia. Trippier expressed gratitude to Gareth Southgate and his teammates for the shared success and believes the current squad is capable of future triumphs.
England’s Kieran Trippier, a key figure in Gareth Southgate’s team, will not start the Euro 2024 final against Spain. The Newcastle United defender, who played out of position as a left-back due to injuries, has been replaced by the now-fit Luke Shaw, who returns to the starting lineup after a long-term injury.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has provided an update on the club’s injury situation, with up to five players potentially returning before the end of the season. Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier, Miguel Almiron, Joelinton, and Nick Pope are all nearing a return from their respective injuries, although none have yet to make an appearance in training. Howe has confirmed that midfield duo Joe Willock and Lewis Miley will miss the rest of the season with Achilles and back injuries, respectively, joining Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles in the treatment room. Howe has issued a positive update on the recoveries of both Botman and Lascelles, saying they have dealt with their injuries well mentally.
