Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon resumes training on Wednesday and stands ready to feature against Brighton this weekend.
Injury Recovery Confirmed
The 25-year-old has overcome a hip injury that sidelined him for the past two weeks. He missed defeats to Bournemouth and Arsenal during that period. Amid swirling speculation about his future, questions arose regarding the injury’s validity. Scans conducted two weeks ago verified the problem, and manager Eddie Howe firmly addressed doubts about the player’s dedication.
‘Anthony Gordon is injured, 100 per cent,’ Howe stated. ‘So it’s a non-question.’
Boost for Struggling Magpies
Gordon’s timely return provides a significant lift for Howe. Newcastle currently sit 14th in the Premier League table after four consecutive losses. It also eases concerns for England manager Thomas Tuchel, who plans to deploy Gordon on the left flank in the front three at this summer’s World Cup.
Transfer Speculation Heats Up
Suitors including Bayern Munich show keen interest in the star. Newcastle set an £80 million asking price, bolstered by four years remaining on his contract. Gordon has not yet signaled any desire to depart or stay, leaving his long-term future at St. James’ Park uncertain if concrete bids materialize.
