Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United is set for a suspension following a red card during an FA Cup match against Brighton. The incident, occurring just minutes before the match ended, involved Gordon pushing defender Jan Paul van Hecke, prompting a serious foul judgment by the referee. If confirmed, this will mean a three-game suspension, impacting his availability for the upcoming Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. The suspension compounds Newcastle's difficulties in major finals, as multiple key players have been unavailable due to previous suspensions in recent competitions, including a similar situation last year.
Gordon's dismissal, a result of serious foul play, has serious implications as he could miss the Carabao Cup final, accentuating Newcastle's ongoing challenges.
