Newcastle United is facing a tough challenge as they may be without nine key players in their upcoming match against Manchester City. Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, is hopeful that one key forward will be able to play despite the team being plagued by injuries throughout the season.
Due to various injuries, players like Callum Wilson, Harvey Barnes, Nick Pope, Joelinton, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, and Lewis Hall will all be sidelined for the match against Manchester City. Additionally, Sandro Tonali is suspended, further adding to Newcastle’s woes. The situation worsened during Monday’s defeat to Chelsea when star forward Anthony Gordon suffered a potentially serious injury.
Despite the setbacks, Eddie Howe provided a positive update on Anthony Gordon’s condition, expressing hope that the 23-year-old forward could still play a part in the upcoming FA Cup quarter-final. This news brings a sense of relief to Newcastle United fans amidst the wave of injuries affecting the team.
On the other side, Manchester City is also dealing with their own injury concerns, with Kevin De Bruyne being ruled out of the game against Newcastle due to a groin injury. Although City’s injury list isn’t as extensive as Newcastle’s, the absence of key players like Jack Grealish and Ederson will pose a challenge for Pep Guardiola’s team.
As both teams prepare for the upcoming match, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the players’ conditions. The outcome of the match could potentially hinge on the availability of these crucial players, making it a closely watched event in the football world.
