What Newcastle United have now discovered about Anthony Gordon’s injury after scan
Newcastle, March 24, 2025 – Newcastle United have received a major boost as the injury suffered by winger Anthony Gordon during England’s recent international fixture is not as serious as initially feared. The 23-year-old was forced to withdraw from the England squad after picking up a hip injury during the Three Lions' 2-0 win over Albania on Friday, March 21.
What Happened to Anthony Gordon?
Anthony Gordon, who came on as a substitute in the 74th minute, sustained a painful knock to his hip late in the match. Shortly after full-time, concerns grew when it was revealed he was struggling to walk and was experiencing significant discomfort. England boss Thomas Tuchel commented on the issue post-match, stating that Gordon had a large bruise around the hip area and was in visible pain.
Following the scare, Gordon returned to Tyneside over the weekend to undergo a precautionary scan and be assessed by Newcastle United’s medical staff. With key fixtures approaching for both club and country, fans were naturally worried that a long-term injury might sideline one of the Magpies’ most in-form players.
The Injury Update: Scan Results Are In
According to a report from The Mag, the scan results revealed no major damage to Gordon's hip, and the injury is now believed to be minor, consisting of deep bruising rather than anything structural. This outcome is a huge relief for both Eddie Howe and the Toon Army.
The 23-year-old is now undergoing treatment at Newcastle’s training facilities and will continue to be monitored closely. Although he won’t feature in the next game, the timeframe for his return looks optimistic.
Why Gordon Was Already Set to Miss Newcastle’s Next Match
Coincidentally, Gordon is already suspended for Newcastle United’s upcoming Premier League clash against Brentford on April 2, serving the final game of a three-match ban following a red card earlier this month. This enforced absence provides an unexpected window for recovery without affecting his overall match count or rhythm.
Newcastle's Upcoming Fixtures
With Gordon likely to be available shortly after the Brentford game, Newcastle could have their attacking talisman back in time for a crucial set of fixtures, including:
- Leicester City vs Newcastle United – April 7
- Newcastle United vs Manchester United – April 13
- Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace – April 16
- Aston Villa vs Newcastle United – April 19
- Newcastle United vs Ipswich Town – April 26
