Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has hailed the return of Anthony Gordon from suspension as a key boost for his team ahead of their Premier League clash with Arsenal this weekend.
Idman.biz, citing Reuters, reports that Gordon was sent off for a reckless tackle during Newcastle's 3-2 home defeat to Liverpool last month, causing him to miss the following three league matches. The England international, who scored nine goals and registered seven assists across all competitions last season, returned in Newcastle's 4-1 midweek League Cup victory over Bradford City.
Howe's side, currently 13th in the Premier League standings, will face a stern challenge against second-placed Arsenal at St James' Park, and the return of Gordon is expected to strengthen Newcastle’s attacking options.
