BREAKING NEWS: Newcastle superstar has suffered a serious injury and he is going to miss the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
Newcastle have been dealt a significant injury setback ahead of next Sunday’s League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
Defender Lewis Hall has been ruled out of the highly anticipated clash after sustaining an ankle injury during Newcastle’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield last week. Following a recent consultation with a specialist, it has been confirmed that he will miss the final.
According to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, Newcastle will also be without boyhood Liverpool fan Anthony Gordon, who is suspended after receiving a red card in his team’s FA Cup loss to Brighton on Sunday.
This news is a major disappointment for Eddie Howe and his squad, who are striving to end Newcastle’s long wait for a major trophy, with their last triumph coming in the 1955 FA Cup.
Despite these absences, Newcastle still possess plenty of quality and remain a threat to Liverpool at Wembley. With stars like Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimarães, and Joelinton in their ranks, the Magpies will be determined to pull off a shock result and bring silverware back to St. James’ Park.
