Former Newcastle United defender Jose Enrique says the loss of Nick Pope will be a miss for Eddie Howe and his side in the Carabao Cup final. However, the return of talismanic midfielder, Bruno Guimaraes, will be a huge boost for the Magpies.
The Brazilian midfielder served his final match of his three-game suspension against Liverpool after being sent off against Southampton. The Toon playmaker was shown a straight red for a reckless challenge but was fortunate to not miss the final.
One man who will miss the game is Newcastle goalkeeper Pope who was shown a straight red for a deliberate handball against Liverpool. Former Reds goalkeeper Loris Karius is expected to start in goal for the Magpies with Enrique keen to see what he can do.
