Anthony Gordon Forced to Pull out of England Squad with Hip ProblemLondon, 23 Mar (ONA) — Injury has forced Newcastle winger Anthony
Gordon to pull out of England’s squad for tomorrow’s World Cup
qualifier against Latvia.
The 24-year-old came off the bench late in Friday’s 2-0 win over
Albania but sustained a hip problem which saw him limp off down the
tunnel at the final whistle.
Gordon underwent a scan and as a result has been sent
back to Newcastle to begin treatment.
After Friday’s victory, new head coach Thomas Tuchel said of Gordon:
“He looks injured. First of all I thought it’s his stomach but it’s
his hip and it does not look good. It’s a bit worrying, yeah.”
In a statement today, England said: “Anthony Gordon has withdrawn
from Three Lions camp having sustained an injury during Friday
night’s 2-0 win over Albania. The forward has returned to Newcastle
United for further assessment.”
