Newcastle has confirmed that Botman suffered the ACL injury in the loss to Manchester City at the weekend and will now undergo surgery. He has already missed a part of the campaign with a knee issue.
The club expects that Botman could be out for a maximum of nine months, meaning he will definitely miss the European Championships in the summer.
It is a big blow for Newcastle who are still chasing a place in Europe this season.
