Another England cap for Anthony Gordon as England and Wales team news announced - Former Magpie finally gets to play at Wembley
England take on Wales at Wembley this evening in an international friendly, with Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon having been named in the starting lineup by Thomas Tuchel.
Anthony Gordon seems to have cemented his place in the England lineup under Thomas Tuchel after being underutilised by previous manager Gareth Southgate.
Gordon's club teammate Dan Burn has had to make do with a place on the bench as the Three Lions take on their neighbours in the 7:45 pm kick-off live on ITV.
One former Newcastle United player will finally get to play at Wembley after missing out twice already in his career.
Former Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow is finally making an appearance at Wembley
Karl Darlow was on loan at Hull when Newcastle's Nick Pope got himself a red card and a suspension that would keep him out of the Carabao Cup final in 2023. Loris Karius ended up having to step up in one of only two appearances for the team.
Previously, the Wales international missed out on playing at Wembley when he was on loan at Newport County due to an administrative error.
The Leeds United goalkeeper who turned 34 yesterday has been named in the Wales starting lineup by former Toon forward Craig Bellamy.
Can Anthony Gordon score past his old teammate?
It will be a proud moment for Darlow for sure, but we'll be hoping he doesn't have a great night between the sticks.
Fingers crossed, Anthony Gordon can put a goal or two beyond his former teammate.
More importantly, though, we just hope that Gordon and Burn, if he makes it onto the pitch, get through this one ok, given that it's just a friendly.
