The 22-year-old asked Eddie Howe to take him off the pitch due to an ankle injury on Saturday and did not return for the second half against Luton Town. As halftime drew near, he was observed limping, and the agony was sufficient to put an end to his afternoon.
Indeed, that was sufficient to guarantee that he departed from St. James’ Park on crutches and a moon boot on. That was a worrying sight on Saturday night, but when admirers spotted him out and about on Sunday without the moon boot, there was some cause for optimism.
Nevertheless, it appears that Anthony Gordon is the most recent victim of Newcastle, and iNews has updated us on his current availability.
Anthony Gordon appears to be out of the Newcastle team to face Nottingham Forest.
Gordon will “almost certainly” be out of the City Ground game against Nottingham Forest on Saturday night, according to iNews.
That will be a devastating setback, especially considering that Alexander Isak is also out of commission. He might have started the match against Luton, but when the team was revealed, he was nowhere to be seen.
Due to Gordon’s injury, two of Newcastle’s returning players will be under pressure. Eddie Howe is now in a situation where one of Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson may have to start against Forest after their respective returns on Saturday.
This team has previously defeated Newcastle this season, so it should be an extremely difficult match. The Magpies may need to exact their retribution without Anthony Gordon, but they will undoubtedly seek it.
Given that he has been one of our finest players this season and our biggest danger in the final third, hopefully the £40 million winger is not sidelined for the long run. Gordon has already contributed 15 goals, but it’s not obvious when he’ll be able to reach that mark.
