FA rules will block Newcastle United star from featuring against Manchester United
Newcastle United have been dealt a fresh injury blow ahead of Sunday’s Premier League match against Manchester United (4:30pm kick-off).
Newcastle will be without Sven Botman (knee), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Lewis Hall (foot) due to injury while Anthony Gordon (groin) remains a doubt for the weekend’s match at St James’ Park.
Joe Willock has also been ruled out of the match due to concussion. The midfielder picked up a head injury in the closing stages of Newcastle’s match against Brentford last week and missed the subsequent Premier League trip to Leicester City.
Newcastle won the match 3-0 at the King Power Stadium and return to St James’ Park looking to make it five wins in a row in all competitions when they face Manchester United. After winning four out of 40 games against Manchester United between 2001 and 2023, The Magpies have won four of their last five matches against The Red Devils in all competitions since.

When asked if Willock would be available for Sunday’s match against Manchester United, head coach Eddie Howe responded: “Joe Willock’s concussion, I don’t think he’ll make the weekend. We’ll need to check on that later, just in terms of what his symptoms were.”
