Newcastle decide on Anthony Gordon’s involvement following Carabao Cup final suspension.

Liverpool fans are aware that this month has fewer games, but many are likely planning a trip to Wembley for another cup final—though Anthony Gordon may not be joining them.

With their FA Cup elimination, Liverpool had the weekend off, while Brighton traveled to Newcastle and secured a victory.

Not only were Newcastle fans disappointed by their cup exit, but they also suffered another setback as Gordon received a red card, ruling him out of the Carabao Cup final.

The winger was sent off after pushing Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke in the head, though the situation may not be entirely settled.

According to BBC Sport, Newcastle is considering an appeal against the red card, which would otherwise prevent Gordon from playing in the final.

However, given the nature of the incident and how clear the dismissal appeared, it seems unlikely that Eddie Howe’s side will succeed in overturning the decision.

Losing Gordon for Wembley would be a significant blow for Newcastle. A possible strategy could be to delay the appeal as long as possible, potentially extending the process beyond the final itself.

A similar situation occurred with Arne Slot, who remained involved in matches even after his red card was upheld, as administrative procedures took time.

With two weeks between Gordon’s red card and the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool—and only one Premier League round in between—a verdict should arrive before the final.

Meanwhile, Newcastle has been boosted by the returns of Alexander Isak and Joelinton, both of whom missed their recent match at Anfield, strengthening their squad.

Now, the question remains whether Gordon, who was close to joining Liverpool from Everton in the summer, will be available for the final.
