Anthony Gordon Injury Update
Anthony Gordon, Newcastle United's dynamic winger, picked up a concerning hip injury during Sunday's 3-1 Premier League defeat to West Ham United on November 2, 2025. The England international was forced off at halftime after feeling discomfort in his hip, prompting manager Eddie Howe to make a triple substitution to protect the player and adjust tactics. Ben Dinnery, posting on X via @BenDinnery, reported that Anthony Gordon of #NUFC will be assessed after feeling his hip slightly, with some tactical changes made to try and adjust his performance on the pitch.
Howe described it as a "minor hip issue" in his post-match comments, but emphasized the need for caution given the packed schedule. The club is now assessing Gordon's fitness ahead of Wednesday's crucial Champions League group stage clash against Athletic Bilbao at St. James' Park. Without him, Newcastle's attacking options could be stretched thin, especially with other squad members nursing knocks.
Latest injury trackers rate the problem as a groin/hip/pelvic strain, with an expected return date of November 5, potentially just in time for the European fixture if recovery goes smoothly. His status sits at around a 50% chance of featuring, depending on training response over the next 48 hours.
