England star Eberechi Eze gives update on Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon at Euro 2024

After such a strong season for Newcastle, there has been clamour to start the 23-year-old amid a relatively underwhelming campaign from England thus far.

Gareth Southgate, however, is yet to truly unleash Gordon.

The former Everton winger has been afforded only a few minutes, albeit he did impress during them despite an otherwise drab draw with Slovenia.

People close to the squad have reportedly been openly asking why neither Gordon nor Cole Palmer have featured more regularly, such is the desire to see the pair try to freshen things up.

Whether or not he starts against Slovakia on Sunday of course remains to be seen but Gordon was involved in something of a scare in the build-up.

The Newcastle star fell off his bike in England training and grazed his chin, which is hardly ideal preparation.

Teammate Eberechi Eze has provided an update.
