Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has expanded on Anthony Gordon's absence from the Toon first-team picture.
Gordon missed the 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers and will also not be involved away to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Friday night. Gordon's ankle injury resulted in him missing training last week in the build-up to the clash with Wolves at St James' Park.
Howe explained: "It was a strange one because after the game (at Man City) there was no sign of an injury. It’s one of those that got worse on the day of the game, it was from a tackle, and when he came it, it was swollen up.
