Newcastle Dealt Major Injury Blow Ahead of League Cup Final vs. Liverpool
Newcastle have been hit with a massive setback ahead of next Sunday’s League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley.
Defender Lewis Hall has been ruled out of the crucial clash after suffering an ankle injury during Newcastle’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield last week. Following a consultation with a specialist, it has been confirmed that Hall will be unavailable for the final.
According to Daily Mail’s Craig Hope, Newcastle will also be without Anthony Gordon, who received a red card during their FA Cup defeat to Brighton on Sunday.
This is a huge blow for Eddie Howe and his team, who are aiming to secure Newcastle’s first major trophy since their 1955 FA Cup triumph.
However, despite these setbacks, Newcastle still possess plenty of firepower. With talents like Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimarães, and Joelinton, the Magpies will be determined to cause an upset at Wembley and deny Arne Slot’s Liverpool another piece of silverware.
