Since 1955, Newcastle United is waiting for it‘s first trophy. After the Saudi Arabia‘s PIF takeover, the fans hoped that that quest might come to an end, but so far, nothing happened, but at least the Magpies are coming to the finals. In 2023, they reached Carabao Cup Final for the first time since 1999 but they faced Manchester United in Erik ten Hag‘s only good season and lost 2-0. After just two years, they reached the final again, but already committed ‘suicide‘ even before the game, which is scheduled to play on Sunday, March 16th.🚨🏴 Lewis Hall will miss the Carabao Cup final vs Liverpool. He is out for the rest of the season with injury. ❌Another blow for Newcastle. Anthony Gordon is also missing the final through suspension. pic.twitter.com/xr8d1NCzb6— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) March 5, 2025 After the Premier League game with Liverpool, with whom they are playing in the final, one of their best and most consistent defenders Lewis Hall picked up an ankle injury and missed the FA Cup defeat from Brighton (2-1). Today he was properly assessed and bad news followed – he is out for the rest of the season.“Lewis Hall will miss the rest of the 2024/25 season after sustaining an injury to a bone in his foot. Following a scan and advice from a specialist, Lewis will undergo surgery before a period of rehabilitation with the club’s medical team“ reads the short club‘s statement.Mighty Reds stomp Isak-less NewcastleIn theory Newcastle have two left-back options, Matt Taggart, a natural player at the position, and Dan Burn, who covered that position most of last season. But considering that Liverpool has the best right winger in whole of England, Mohamed Salah, it‘s easy to see why both players cannot start on the left side. The Magpies got a good offer for Lloyd Kelly in January and he went to Juventus, and now they are probably regretting this decision. So, Tino Liverameno will probably play out of position and move to the left, while the 33-year old Kieran Trippier, already error-prone this season, will start opposite either Cody Gakpo or Luis Diaz. Not good.Ex-United forward Welbeck scores extra-winner to kill NewcastleTo make things worse, of the Newcastle star players and Liverpool boyhood supporter Anthony Gordon got the red card in a moment of madness against Brighton and was charged for ‘violent conduct‘ which means he got three match game ban and will miss the finals as well. Against that awful game with the Seagulls in the FA Cup, Alexander Isak went out of the game earlier and everybody in the club are sweating over his fitness for the most important game of the season.##NAJAVA_MECA_8755774##
