England coach Gareth Southgate explains the reason why Newcastle United player 23-year-old player Anthony Gordon will miss the friendly match against Bosnia

Anthony Gordon might not be able to play for England in their Euro 2024 warm-up game against Bosnia. If that happens, he won’t be able to play for his country at St. James’ Park.

The Newcastle player missed the last game of the season because of an ankle injury, which was the first time all year that he missed a game because of an injury. He has not been able to fully train in recent days because of this.

They are all going to miss the friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday at St. James’ Park, according to Gareth Southgate. They are Bukayo Saka, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Anthony Gordon.

People think that was done as a safety measure since England’s first game of the event is still two weeks away.

But he probably won’t be able to play in his home game on Monday.

Gordon is likely to train this week before England’s farewell friendly against Iceland at Wembley on Friday. After that, Gareth Southgate will choose his 26-person team for the trip to Germany.

The 23-year-old is almost certain to be included as long as there are no remaining questions about his fitness.

The former Everton star played in 48 of Newcastle’s 51 games last season; he missed two because he was suspended. He was their player of the season, scoring 12 goals and setting up 11 others across all categories.

He played his first game for England against Belgium in March and is a key player in Southgate’s plans because he is willing and able to run back over and cover his left back, which is a position that worries the England manager.
