A recent injury update has resulted in Newcastle United’s essential man being scheduled for a scan after sustaining injury.

Anthony Gordon, the winger for Newcastle United, is uncertain for the upcoming matches against

Arsenal and Chelsea due to an abdominal issue. The 23-year-old traveled to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but he was unable to witness Newcastle’s 2-1 defeat, which extended their Premier League winless streak to five games. The Magpies have the opportunity to swiftly avenge their defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday night (7:45pm kick-off) when they host Enzo Maresca’s team at St James’ Park in the Carabao Cup last-16. Gordon is anticipated to undergo a scan on Monday, and it is uncertain at this time whether he will be cleared to participate in the match. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s head coach, stated following the match regarding Gordon’s injury: “He experienced discomfort in his groin during training on Saturday.” We are optimistic that the situation is not severe; however, it is probable that he will undergo a scan tomorrow. The match has already been ruled out for Callum Wilson (hamstring), Kieran Trippier (hamstring), Sven Botman (knee), and Jamaal Lascelles (knee). Martin Dubravka has also been sidelined for the past three games as a result of a knee injury he sustained against AFC Wimbledon earlier this month.

Dan Burn, the defender, has been nursing an ankle issue in recent weeks and missed some training in preparation for Sunday’s match at Stamford Bridge. However, he was ultimately cleared to start. Burn participated in the entire match, with Howe indicating that the defender is in good health. When asked whether Burn is still experiencing ankle pain, Howe responded to The Gazette, “I do not believe so. He missed one day of training this week, but he trained the remaining days and performed well.” “I believe that any missed training will have a lasting impact on you.” However, he successfully completed the game and likely enhanced his performance as it progressed. Newcastle was eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Chelsea in the quarterfinals last season on penalties. They will be striving to advance to the next round of the competition with a victory on Wednesday night. However, Howe will be seeking enhancements in critical areas to ensure that his team makes progress. “I believe that we need to improve in the details; the second goal against Chelsea was a game-changer for us,” Howe stated. “We had opportunities that we did not capitalize on, so we revisited the specifics in both boxes that will determine the outcome of the game.”
