In Newcastle's recent victory against Nottingham Forest, the team faced a setback when Anthony Gordon was forced to leave the game due to an injury. This unfortunate event has now cast doubt on his ability to play for England in the upcoming matches.
During the match, Newcastle initially fell behind to Murillo's goal, but they were able to turn things around in the second half thanks to goals from Alexander Isak, Joelinton, and Harvey Barnes. Barnes, who came off the bench, scored a crucial goal just three minutes after entering the game. However, this positive moment was overshadowed by Gordon's injury.
As he hobbled off the field in the 80th minute, it was clear that Gordon was in considerable discomfort. This was a worrying sight for not only Newcastle supporters but also for Lee Carsley, the interim England manager, who had recently called up Gordon for the national team's final two matches of the year.
After the game, Newcastle's manager, Eddie Howe, expressed his doubts about Gordon's availability for the upcoming international break. He stated that due to his injury, he believes Gordon may not be able to play for England.
Regarding the severity of the injury, Howe said it seemed to be a similar problem to one Gordon had a few weeks ago with his hip. He expressed his hope that it was not a serious issue.
Gordon's recent call-up to the England squad came as a result of his impressive performance under interim manager Carsley during the Nations League campaign. However, if Gordon is unable to play due to his injury, it could leave the team with a shortage of options on the left side of the attack. This is especially concerning as Manchester City's Jack Grealish is also currently dealing with an injury.
England's upcoming schedule includes matches against Greece and Ireland, and Carsley's final two games in charge before the arrival of Thomas Tuchel. After the international break, Newcastle, who have now climbed to eighth place in the Premier League table, will face a struggling West Ham team on November 25.
