Expected to remain out
Gordon (hip) is set to miss another game in Saturday's visit to Arsenal after failing to train Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live reports.
Analysis: Gordon is unlikely to make a full recovery from the injury that already forced him to miss the previous clash against Bournemouth. He's a top attacking threat when healthy, so losing him implies a significant problem for a struggling Newcastle side, who are left with Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy and Anthony Elanga as their main options on the wings. Gordon was in good form prior to the issue, scoring twice from eight shots over his last four starts across all competitions.
Suffers hip injury
Gordon is ruled out of Saturday's clash against Bournemouth after scans revealed a slight hip flexor injury, according to Lee Ryder of Chronicle Live.
Analysis: Gordon picked up a tightness in his hip flexor in recent days and the scan results have confirmed he will need time on the sidelines, leaving his return timeline unclear for now. The English winger has been one of Newcastle's most dangerous attackers this season, making his absence a real blow for coach Eddie Howe heading into the weekend. Anthony Elanga is expected to take on a larger role in the front line in his absence as the Magpies push through the final fixtures of the season.
