Gordon a doubt for England with a hip problem

Forward Anthony Gordon is a doubt for England after coming off in Newcastle's win at Nottingham Forest.

The 23-year-old was withdrawn with 10 minutes left at the City Ground with a hip issue, as the Magpies came from behind to earn a 3-1 victory.

Gordon, who has seven England caps, was included in Lee Carsley's squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Ireland this month but his injury will now be assessed.

Boss Eddie Howe said: "I’d say because he has come off, yes [a doubt for England].

"It looks like a similar problem to one he had a few weeks ago with his hip. We hope it’s not serious."

Gordon's replacement, Harvey Barnes, scored the Magpies' third three minutes after coming on. Goals from Alexander Isak and Joelinton had already turned the game around.

Murillo's first-half header opened the scoring but Newcastle hit back to rise to eighth, a point behind third-placed Forest, with Howe reserving special praise for Joelinton.

"He’s turned into a beast, a machine, he is someone you put on the pitch and you know what you are going to get," he said, after the Brazil international's first goal since the opening day.

"He has got those mental qualities. Joe deserves the credit, not us, it’s the player who has to commit to what you ask him to do.

"I want more from him, I think he can get more goals. Look at the goals he has scored this season, it’s a player with real finishing abilities."

It was a third straight win in all competitions for the Magpies having beaten Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and last week's win over Arsenal.

Howe added: "We knew the importance of today, we didn’t want it to be a false dawn. The challenge for the players was to come here against a team in good form."
