Newcastle is facing a significant setback right before their League Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley next Sunday. Defender Lewis Hall has been sidelined due to an ankle injury he picked up in their recent 2-0 loss at Anfield. After consulting with a specialist, it’s been confirmed he will miss this crucial game.
This unfortunate turn of events was reported by Craig Hope from the Daily Mail. To add to Newcastle’s woes, Anthony Gordon, a lifelong Liverpool supporter, will also be absent after being shown a red card in their FA Cup game against Brighton last Sunday.
Here’s a tweet from Craig Hope with the update:

Missing out on Hall is a tough blow for Newcastle’s manager Eddie Howe and his team as they chase their first major trophy since their 1955 FA Cup win. Despite this, Newcastle isn’t short on talent. They still boast a strong lineup capable of posing a challenge to Liverpool’s coach, Arne Slot, at Wembley.
With impressive players like Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton ready to step up, Newcastle fans continue to hold hope for a shock victory in London.
