I believe that England is of paramount importance – England is of paramount importance before the club,” following his numerous withdrawals from the England squad during the November international break.


 

As a professional footballer, England is the most significant role you can perform. Gareth [Southgate] was acutely aware of this and was unafraid to make decisions if it began to deviate from certain players.No doubt, this week is a disappointment. I believe that this is a challenging time of year; it is possible that this has been exploited to some extent.

 

 

If I am entirely candid, I do not particularly enjoy it.

Gordon continued to emphasise his aspiration to represent England, despite the fact that he sustained an injury during Newcastle’s 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

 

 

“[Newcastle] are aware of my sentiments regarding representing England and were aware of my intentions regardless; however, the primary objective was to evaluate my capabilities upon my arrival.”

 

 

“I was and, of course, I will play for England if I am healthy.” Gordon will return to Newcastle for the Premier League match against West Ham United on 25 November (8pm kick-off), following the two England encounters.
