Nick Pope ruled out after recent form dip
Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope missed the Premier League clash against Everton due to a new injury, coming only days after his costly mistake in the Champions League match against Marseille.
Details of Pope’s absence
The 31-year-old stopper, who had been under scrutiny after his recent error in Europe, was left out of Eddie Howe’s matchday squad. The club confirmed that his absence was related to a fresh injury rather than tactical reasons.
Recent performance concerns
Pope’s error in Marseille, where his misplaced pass led to a goal for the French side, added pressure on the player, though he had been a key figure for Newcastle in previous months. His recent dip in confidence prompted the coaching staff to reassess his workload and fitness.
"Nick’s been carrying a slight issue for a while, and it’s unfortunately worsened," a Newcastle representative shared before kick-off.
Looking ahead
Newcastle are now relying on their backup goalkeeper as they navigate a packed fixture schedule, balancing domestic and European commitments with a growing list of injuries among key players.
Author’s summary: Goalkeeper Nick Pope missed Newcastle’s match against Everton due to a new injury shortly after his Champions League mistake against Marseille, compounding the club’s concerns over form and fitness.
