London (AFP) – Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said Anthony Gordon could have made his final appearance for the club after reports that the England forward is set to join Bayern Munich.

Gordon has missed Newcastle's last four games, including two due to a hip injury, as speculation mounts that the Bundesliga champions are in advanced negotiations to sign him at the end of the season.
Asked on Friday if he had left out Gordon because he was planning for the future, Howe said: "When you get to this stage of the season, part of what we will be doing we'll be looking to next year, naturally, so yes.
"Anthony's just come back from injury. I think the team has played well in his absence and with a partial view to the future, yes."
