Newcastle have been dealt a double blow with Lewis Hall to miss the rest of the season with a foot injury, while Anthony Gordon will not be available for the Carabao Cup final due to suspension.

It was confirmed on Wednesday morning that defender Hall has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after it was decided he needs surgery on an injury sustained during last month's Premier League defeat at Liverpool.

It means Newcastle will be missing their first-choice left-hand side for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on March 16, live on Sky Sports, after the club decided not to appeal Gordon's sending-off in Sunday's FA Cup defeat by Brighton.

Gordon was shown a straight red card for raising his hands to the face of Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke and will serve a three-game suspension.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe said after the game the club would not hesitate to appeal the decision after claiming Gordon had no intention to "harm the player" but have now decided against that course of action.
