In a widely circulated video on social media, Trippier was observed talking to some traveling Magpies fans after the 2-0 defeat at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
Clearly disturbed, Trippier questioned the fans, saying, « How many injuries have we got? »
Speaking to Sky Sports after the incident, he acknowledged, « The fans are emotional. They’ve traveled a long way. I had a conversation with one of them, assuring them that we are putting in our best effort, and there’s no need to panic.
« We suffered a defeat, and we apologize for that result, but the lads are giving everything. »
Trippier was guided away from the encounter by teammate Joelinton and received consolation from manager Eddie Howe, marking their second consecutive defeat following the loss to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
