Magpies to Face Liverpool Minus Their Stars…
Newcastle United’s plans to swoop on the Carabao Cup have hit a snag the size of a seagull on a windy day! The Magpies will be missing the dynamic duo of Lewis Hall and Anthony Gordon as they take on Liverpool at Wembley.
Gordon’s dismissal against Brighton was the cherry on top of a not-so-sweet weekend for Eddie Howe and his team. After giving his best face-off impression, Gordon received a red card that could’ve easily doubled as a Christmas card for Jan Paul van Hecke. Despite murmurings from the pundits, Newcastle decided not to appeal, meaning Gordon will be missing from action just like the perfectly cooked steak in an undercooked pie.
As if that wasn’t enough, an injury bug rampaged through the team, leaving Lewis Hall sidelined with a foot injury. The club announced he’d be missing in action like Bigfoot at a vegan festival, following a specialist scan revealing his fate.
With other players like Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier nursing bumps and bruises, fans hope Swedish sensation Alexander Isak, who left the field looking like a limping Viking, will be ready for the big day. But fear not! The Magpies are rallying their troops for a battle at Wembley!
