Eddie Howe could not hide his concern after Anthony Gordon limped out of Newcastle\u2019s 3-2 defeat at Chelsea with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
With 10 goals and five assists across all competitions, Gordon has been one of the Toon\u2019s most impressive performers this term and is being touted for an England call-up ahead of Euro 2024.<\/p>\n
Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate was in attendance at Stamford Bridge as the winger was taken off after just 36 minutes.<\/p>\n
And a downbeat Howe did not offer much positivity when asked about the 23-year-old\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccording to Anthony at half-time, he was in quite a bit of pain. We don\u2019t quite know how bad that is yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was quite early in the game but there was no moment where he felt the injury, just a pain was there.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we sent someone over because he didn\u2019t look like he was moving right. And then eventually he succumbed to the injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s in a bit of pain but it\u2019s not looking too good. We\u2019ll wait and see.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a huge moment to lose him, given what he has done this season. It was a psychological blow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexander Isak cancelled out Nicolas Jackson\u2019s early strike just before half-time to send the two teams in level at the break.<\/p>\n
But the Blues began to dominate proceedings in the second period and strikes from Cole Palmer and Mykhailo Mudryk sealed the three points, despite Jacob Murphy\u2019s spectacular consolation.<\/p>\n
Howe, 46, accepted his side could have no complaints about a seventh loss in nine Premier League away outings \u2014 conceding 24 times in that run.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cIt\u2019s a similar feeling over the last few months on the road.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know with the quality of players to defend better than that. It was not a bad performance, just inconsistent at times.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s promise that we can hit the heights but we\u2019re not doing it enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
