Newcastle will make a late decision on the fitness of Anthony Gordon for Sunday’s Premier League visit of Manchester United to Tyneside.
The Magpies winger has not played for his club since being sent off for pushing Jan Paul van Hecke in the head during a 2-1 home defeat by Brighton in the FA Cup fifth round on March 2, a costly act which earned him a three-game suspension and ruled him out of Newcastle’s famous Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley, in addition to the recent top-flight wins against West Ham and Brentford.
