Newcastle United have been dealt a significant setback just days before their highly anticipated Carabao Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
Defender Lewis Hall has been ruled out of the crucial match after sustaining an ankle injury during Newcastle’s recent 2-0 defeat at Anfield. After consulting a specialist, it was confirmed that he will be unavailable for the final.
Adding to Newcastle’s woes, Anthony Gordon will also miss the clash after receiving a red card during their FA Cup loss to Brighton.
This double blow is a major challenge for Eddie Howe’s side as they aim to win their first major trophy since their FA Cup triumph in 1955. However, despite these setbacks, Newcastle still have key players like Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimarães, and Joelinton, who will be eager to rise to the occasion and challenge Liverpool for the title.
