Magpies likely to be without two key stars for clash with Premier League champions
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has confirmed the latest on Anthony Gordon’s injury ahead of Saturday’s trip to Premier League champions, Manchester City.
The England forward missed his side’s dramatic 3-2 win over Birmingham in the FA Cup on Saturday night due to a thigh injury sustained as Newcastle beat Arsenal 2-0 to progress into the Carabao Cup final.
Howe’s side will no doubt back themselves to claim only their second-ever win at the Etihad Stadium, with Gordon likely to be crucial to their chances.
Speaking on Friday morning, Howe said: "Anthony should be fine, he had a thigh problem but has responded well to treatment and has been training.”
Sven Botman is a doubt, although Dan Burn could be involved.
"There has been good news on the scan for Sven after his injury and it is not long-term,” he said.
“He will miss this weekend but hopefully won't miss games in the next few weeks.
"For Dan, initially, it did not look positive. He's had a scan, and it looks good; he is very close for this weekend."
