Newcastle United vs Manchester United team news: Anthony Gordon latest as 10 players ruled out

Newcastle United will make a late call on Anthony Gordon for this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Manchester United.

Gordon hasn’t featured for the Magpies since he received a straight red card in the FA Cup fifth round defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on March 2. The 24-year-old served a three-match ban against West Ham United, Liverpool and Brentford before missing the 3-0 win at Leicester City on Monday night through injury.

Jason Tindall was the one to provide an official update on Gordon after the Newcastle assistant coach conducted the pre-match press conference on Friday morning with Eddie Howe unwell.

“He's had a decent week with the physios,” Tindall said. “He was back out on grass for a pitch session yesterday so we'll assess him again today to see how he's responded to that session. And then we'll have to make a late call on whether he's available for the bench on Sunday.”
