Newcastle United has confirmed it will be without Lewis Hall for the Carabao Cup final, while the Magpies also have admitted defeat in their hopes of Anthony Gordon being available for the clash with Liverpool, according to reports.

It comes after a nightmare weekend for Eddie Howe, who watched his Newcastle side crash out of the FA Cup courtesy of a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

As per Sky Sports’ Keith Downie, Newcastle has decided against appealing Gordon’s dismissal which means he’ll miss the Carabao Cup final at Wembley next weekend, plus the upcoming Premier League against West Ham United and Brentford.
