Newcastle United picked up an excellent three points on the road after beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday but it came at a cost.
Towards the end of the match, Harvey Barnes was getting ready to come into the game, possibly to replace Anthony Gordon, although we can't be sure.
However, whatever Eddie Howe's plan was, he was quickly forced into a decision as Anthony Gordon pulled up in visible pain.
Gordon was taken off and Barnes went on, going on to score Newcastle's third goal and narrowly missing adding a fourth late on.
We're still waiting to find out the full extent of Gordon's injury, but after the game Eddie Howe hinted that it may not be good news for England heading into the latest international break.
“It looks like a similar problem that he had the other week with his hip. We hope it is not serious.
“I don’t know more at the moment. I would say he is a doubt for England because he came off.”
Meanwhile, Emil Krafth has withdrawn from the Sweden squad after he missed out on Sunday's game. Once again, we are awaiting confirmation as to the nature of that injury, but Sweden released a statement which included this update:
“Emil Krafth and Eric Smith have been forced to withdraw from the men’s national team’s upcoming Nations League gathering."
There were rumours online that Krafth has broken a collar bone, but we've not had any word as to how true that is.
