The England national team received a painful blow with the injury of young winger Anthony Gordon during the match against Albania, which ended with the Three Lions winning 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Gordon came on as a substitute in the second half of the match but experienced pain in his hip, prompting the medical staff to decide to withdraw him from the squad for the upcoming match against Latvia, scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, at Wembley Stadium.

The English Football Association confirmed in an official statement that Gordon has returned to his club Newcastle United for tests and medical evaluation, raising doubts about his readiness for the match against Brentford on Wednesday, April 2, in the Premier League.

Gordon is having a fantastic season with Newcastle, having scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists in 34 matches across all competitions, making his potential absence a significant loss for the team during this crucial stage of the season.
