"It was a psychological blow" Eddie Howe provides Anthony Gordon injury news

Anthony Gordon had to come off in the 36th minute of the game against Chelsea and Jacob Murphy replaced him. Eddie Howe later on addressed the injury concern of Anthony Gordon by saying that the injury didn't look good. Gordon has been the star player for the Magpies this season scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists. If Newcastle miss him for the next few games, it will be devasting for the Magpies as the season has been a very topsy-turvy one. Also, Newcastle already has a long list of injuries and adding Gordon to that list will be catastrophic for the hopes of the Magpies securing European football next season. Eddie Howe said while addressing the issue with Anthony Gordon during the match;

"I think it (Gordon's knee pain) was quite early on in the game. But as I said, there was no moment where he felt an injury, just the pain was there. So we sent someone over because he didn't look like he was moving right. And then eventually he succumbed to the injury."
