Pope will miss Newcastle\u2019s important CL game against AC Milan<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Newcastle United and England goalkeeper Nick Pope requires shoulder surgery and is expected to be out for four months.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old dislocated his shoulder when he dived to make a save during the closing stages of Newcastle\u2019s 1-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Manager Eddie Howe said there is \u201cstill a chance\u201d Pope could return before next summer\u2019s European Championships.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s naturally down because we\u2019ve got huge games coming up and he\u2019s got the Euros ahead of him,\u201d Howe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thinking of him because it\u2019s another strange injury for us. There\u2019s no doubt he needs an operation so he will be out for a period of time, we think around four months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pope, who joined Newcastle for an undisclosed fee in June 2022, joins striker Callum Wilson, winger Harvey Barnes, midfielders Jacob Murphy and Joe Willock, and defenders Sven Botman and Dan Burn among the club\u2019s injury concerns.<\/p>\n
The former Burnley goalkeeper had played every minute of Newcastle\u2019s Premier League and Champions League campaigns this season.<\/p>\n
But he had to be replaced by Slovakia international Martin Dubravka after 86 minutes at St James\u2019 Park having been unable to continue.<\/p>\n
Following his injury, it was reported that Newcastle could use the January transfer window to replace Pope, with former Manchester United goalkeeper and current free agent David de Gea said to be interested in a move.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of media headlines regarding goalkeepers and other players,\u201d Howe said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have not made any enquiries. If we were to recruit now we\u2019d be recruiting in every area on the pitch. It\u2019s a chance for the other keepers to consolidate their positions.\u201d<\/p>\n
