Unfortunately, Anthony Gordon will not be joining Newcastle United on their trip to face Chelsea. The skilled winger has been forced to sit out of the Premier League clash due to a groin injury. This setback occurred during a training session on Saturday and despite traveling with the team to London, he was not included in Eddie Howe's matchday squad for the game at Stamford Bridge.
According to Howe, Gordon felt the discomfort in his groin during training and the team had hoped he would recover in time for the game. However, this was not the case and instead, Harvey Barnes has been brought in to replace him in the starting lineup. It's a tough blow for the team as Gordon is known for his speed and exceptional abilities on the field.
But Howe remains optimistic, stating that Barnes has been a key player for them this season and brings his own unique qualities to the team. He also expressed his confidence in the rest of the team, saying that he still likes the lineup they have despite the changes.
In addition to Gordon, there have been two other changes made to the lineup from their previous game against Brighton. Miguel Almiron and Harvey Barnes are starting, replacing Gordon and Jacob Murphy, who will be coming off the bench.
