Newcastle had to receive a strong blow before the new season when Anthony Gordon was injured in a friendly match with Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Gordon, who played at No. 9 due to the absence of the main striker Alexander Isak, had to leave the field with a pain, causing fans to worry, although coach Eddie Howe later offered a positive update about the situation of this player.
Newcastle had a bad summer transfer so far when they could not recruit almost all attack targets, including Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko. Not stopping there, the star striker Isak is trying to leave and his favorite destination is Liverpool.
The situation of “Chich Chu” became worse on Saturday when Gordon had to leave the field after he was injured in the 84th minute in a friendly match before the season with Atletico. This player was originally taken care of by medical staff on the field, before having to leave the field and go straight to the dressing room.
Amid the concerns about Gordon's condition, coach Howe gave a positive update, when he told the reporters: “We hope he is fine. It was a problem in the ankle. At first we thought it was a chance.
“Injecting” will continue to search for a new striker before the 2025/26 season. After the initial information said that Newcastle would not allow Isak to leave, Howe later revealed that the team has now changed its position and could accept a transfer to Liverpool.
