"Eddie Howe faces yet more injury issues after Anthony Gordon's early withdrawal from Wednesday night's Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. Newcastle United will host Brentford in Saturday's 5:30pm kick-off hoping to bring a poor run of just one win from their past eight games to an end. The Magpies' form has been hampered by multiple injuries to key players including Bruno Guimaraes, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar - and Gordon being forced to go off just before half time at the Etihad Stadium is unlikely to help matters."
"Gordon went to the floor to concern from teammates and opponents alike and received treatment on the pitch before having to go off clutching the back of his leg. Howe confirmed the obvious after the game: Gordon had a hamstring issue, and that makes him a major doubt to face Brentford at the weekend.

It was enough for him to come off, so that's a big worry. The Newcastle boss was unable to add to that at his Friday morning press conference, saying only: No major update on Anthony. [There's] every chance he'll miss this game, but we hope it's not a serious injury and he'll be back soon."
Anthony Gordon suffered a hamstring issue and was substituted just before half-time of Newcastle's Carabao Cup semi-final against Manchester City. Eddie Howe described it as a hamstring problem, said he did not yet know the severity, and indicated there is every chance Gordon will miss the upcoming Brentford match. Newcastle have registered one win in their last eight games while coping with injuries to Bruno Guimaraes, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar. Gordon has contributed 10 goals and four assists in all competitions this season, with higher returns in the Champions League than the Premier League.
