Nick Pope MISSES Newcastle's clash with Everton after Champions League howler in Marseille

Nick Pope is not in the Newcastle squad following a poor recent run of form and howler against Marseille, with the stopper injured for his side's clash against Everton.

The official club X account posted: 'Six changes from Tuesday's game in Marseille as Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Hall, Lewis Miley, Joelinton, Anthony Elanga and Nick Woltemade all come into the starting XI. Nick Pope misses today's game due to injury.'

Pope's injury is a groin injury picked up in training the day before the game.

Earlier in the week, talk of Pope had dominated Eddie Howe's press briefing.
