Eddie Howe says Anthony Gordon is still touch and go for Sunday's battle against Manchester United.
The Scouser star has missed Newcastle's last two matches due to an ankle injury and used the sunshine break in Dubai for rehab purposes. Gordon is set to train today but Howe was not sure if he would involved against the Red Devils.
Howe, speaking at his Press conference today, said: "The break came at a good time for Anthony Gordon to improve on his injury and try to get him closer to returning. I think he used the time wisely."
