Newcastle United could be without Anthony Gordon for their upcoming trip to Arsenal after the winger missed training earlier this week due to injury, according to The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope.

Gordon has been dealing with a hip issue that was identified following a scan, with the problem first reported last week. While the injury is not believed to be long-term, his availability for Saturday’s match at the Emirates Stadium remains uncertain.

The forward was already sidelined of late, missing the 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth last weekend. Gordon’s absence comes at a difficult point in the Magpies’ season, with Newcastle looking to improve results during the final stretch of the campaign and Eddie Howe fighting for his life.

Newcastle have not ruled Gordon out of the Arsenal fixture, but his absence from training has raised doubts over his involvement this weekend, with the club expected to monitor his condition closely in the coming days before making a final, likely game-time decision.
