Newcastle United is going through a rough patch now that their main keeper Nick Pope is out with a knee injury. The injury which he got during the Brentford game means he could be missing for a few weeks which is going to hurt Newcastle’s defense. Martin Dubravka will probably take over, something he’s done before as Newcastle gets ready for some big games coming up in both league and cup.
- Nick Pope hurt his knee and might be out for weeks.
- Martin Dubravka is going to take over from Pope for the next games.
- Newcastle has got a lot of important games coming up in league and cup.
Nick Pope’s Injury and What it Means
Newcastle United is really going to miss Nick Pope especially with all the games they got coming up. The keeper hurt his knee when they lost 4-2 to Brentford which isn’t good news with games like Leicester City coming up. Eddie Howe says Pope is seeing a doctor to check how bad it is. Dubravka who’s filled in before will take over but not having Pope there could mess up how Newcastle defends.

What’s Coming Up for Newcastle
Newcastle United has got a lot on their plate with both regular games and cup matches to deal with. They got a Carabao Cup game against Brentford coming up plus a league game with Ipswich Town and not having Pope around puts more pressure on the defense. The team really depends on his experience and leadership skills and now they’ll have to manage without him. Everyone at the club wants him back quick to help the team out.
Newcastle’s Next Games
While Newcastle deals with Pope being injured, they’ll need to show they can handle it. Dubravka needs to do a good job in goal while Newcastle plays these tough games coming up. Leicester City who they play next, is really good at scoring goals so the defense needs to be solid. The fans are hoping Pope won’t be out too long so he can get back to helping protect the goal.
