Due to his one-match suspension, Anthony Gordon will miss Newcastle United’s trip to West Ham United.
Anthony Gordon will miss Newcastle United’s Premier League match against West Ham United next weekend after receiving his fifth caution of the year against Burnley.
One of the heroes of the Magpies’ season thus far has been the £45 million January acquisition from Everton, but Eddie How will have to do without the winger when they take on the Hammers on Sunday.v
Gordon received a caution in the 18th minute.
According to Premier League regulations, if a player receives five warnings before matchday 20, which is currently on the road against Liverpool on December 30, they are immediately suspended for one match.
Gordon received a booking in the defeats to
Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion as well as the victories over Aston Villa and Brentford. Before facing Burnley, he avoided getting warned against Liverpool and Sheffield United.
Howe responded when questioned about Gordon’s disciplinary record: “Of course it’s a problem, sure. We will be harmed this year by injuries at one position. Two of our midfielders have been absent, which has worried us. We won’t be able to take Harvey’s loss lightly.
With the new rules that will be implemented, we will have to deal with the suspensions to some extent. Several of Anthony’s bookings have been extremely severe. That is the area we are in, yet we have the squad that we do because we can fill in for anyone who is absent.
