Newcastle will consider Gordon red card appeal
Newcastle will consider lodging an appeal against the red card which will cost Anthony Gordon the chance to play in the Carabao Cup final.
The Magpies forward was dismissed for shoving Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke's head in Sunday's 2-1 FA Cup fifth-round defeat.
That would mean a three-game ban for violent conduct, that will include the EFL Cup final against Liverpool on Sunday, 16 March.
Newcastle also missed a key player, goalkeeper Nick Pope, through a red-card suspension for the 2023 final which they lost to Manchester United
"Of course. If we analyse the incident and feel there's grounds for that [an appeal], we will do without hesitation," said Magpies boss Eddie Howe.
