(Reuters) - Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento and attacker Miguel Almiron's injuries are not as bad as initially feared and the pair could return to action in the coming weeks, manager Eddie Howe said on Friday.

Livramento and Almiron were both forced off the pitch with injuries during Newcastle's 4-3 win over West Ham United on Saturday, with both being left out of the squad for Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Everton.
