Newcastle defender Lewis Hall will miss the Carabao Cup final in yet another blow for Eddie Howe, Mail Sport can reveal.
It means the Magpies boss has lost his first choice pairing down the left-hand side in the space of just a few days, after Anthony Gordon’s red card at the weekend ruled him out of the Wembley date with Liverpool.
Hall missed Sunday’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat by Brighton - in which Gordon was sent off - after picking up an ankle issue in the 2-0 loss at Liverpool last Wednesday.
