Update of Newcastle United injuries in three stars after scanning, just one month before the Capabao Cup final against Liverpool

Newcastle has been given a triple fitness impulse with the Capabao Cup final in mind after the scanning revealed that three key players have avoided serious injuries.

Mail Sport can reveal exclusively that Anthony Gordon, Dan Burn and Sven Botman do not face long spells outside, even though the fears arise last weekend.

Gordon lost the 3-2 victory of the FA Cup in Birmingham with a quadruple problem and Botman also stayed at home due to a knee problem. Burn was forced in the second half with a groin complaint.

Eddie Howe spoke after her concern about the injuries that began to assemble, especially with the Capao Cup final against Liverpool just over a month away.

However, we understand that the problem of Gordon's thigh has cleared and should be fine to face Manchester City on Saturday. That will be of great relief for Howe given the end Harvey Barnes is still fortnight from a return after hurting her thigh. But it is the news in defense that perhaps will be of greater comfort for the chief coach and the followers.

Newcastle's decision to allow defender Lloyd Kelly to join Juventus in January was taken with the knowledge that Botman and Burn were fit and competing for the central position of the left. Botman then hit his knee during the victory of the Carabao Cup last week over Arsenal before Burn succumbed to what seemed like a potentially serious groin tension in St Andrew's.

However, it is believed that the results of the scanning in both players are positive, relieving the fears that Newcastle could be left brief before their Wembley date. However, its inclusion for the trip to Etihad remains in doubt. None of the players are still free of pain and a late call will be made in their availability. That has put Emil Kraft in Standby for a beginning in the center of Fabian Schar.

Meanwhile, Newcastle approaches the signing of the end of Malaga Antonio Cordero. Mail Sport revealed on Monday that conversations had taken place and Uracas were prepared to defeat Barcelona and Real Madrid with the signature of the 18 -year -old, who is a free agent in the summer. We understand that the player has indicated that he wants to join the club and the expectation is that an agreement must be announced in due time.
