Why Anthony Gordon is not playing in Car

Newcastle United will aim to lift their first major trophy for 68 years when they take on Manchester United in a keenly anticipated Carabao Cup final on Sunday.The Magpies have seen their fortunes transformed by PIFs takeover in 2021, but their transfer market spending has been sustained and shrewd rather than outlandish under manager Eddie Howe.Record buy Alexander Isak is back in the team after a long spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.Sweden forward Damiere Byrd Jersey Isak cost 63 million from Real Sociedad last August, while Howe made the clubs second most expensive buy when Newcastle secured wantaway Everton winger Anthony Gordon for 45m during the January transfer window.However, that wont count for much at Wembley.MORE: Yes. Gordon is unable to feature in the final because he appeared in the competition for Everton earlier this season.Players can only represent one team in each edition of the Carabao Cup. If they join another club that still has games to play in the knockout competition they are cup tied and ineligible to take part.In Gordons case, his ineligibility comes down to the 52 joyle s minutes he played in Evertons 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth in round three. The 22-year-old was an unused substitute during the Toffees win over Fleetwood Town in the previous round.The same rules also apply in Englands other domestic knockout competition, the FA Cup. Gordon played in Evertons round-three defeat to Manchester United, although this presents no immediate problems given Newcastle fell Cairo Santos Jersey at the same hurdle to Sheffield Wednesday.January signings who did not play in the Carabao Cup earlier this season are eligible to play. Wout Weghorst will be among Erik ten Hags attacking options for the Red Devils at the weekend, having scored in the semifinal win over Nottingham Forest after joining United last month. Getty Images UEFA abolished cup-tying in its competition rules from the 2018/19 season, with the Champions League and Europa League having previously operated in a similar fashion to the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.However, teams can now register up to three new players in January provided there is space in their squad and pick them irrespective of whether or not they played for another club earlier in the season.For example; despite playing for Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica and Atletico Madrid Chicago Bears Women Jersey during the groups.MORE: The main spectre that has hung over this game has been domestic suspensions for some key performers.Bruno Guimaraes was sent off during the closing stages of Newcastles semifinal triumph over Southampton for a late challenge on Sam Edozie.A straight red card meant a three-match ban. However, red card suspensions accrued in English domestic football carry over all competitions, meaning the Brazil midfielder mi sed out on the Premier League games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Liverpool but will return refreshed at Wembley.Newcastle going winle s acro s those games underlines Guimaraess importance to Howes side and his compatriot Casemiro has been similarly pivotal since moving to Old Trafford from Real Madrid earlier in the season. Getty Images Casemiro was red-carded before United held out Chicago Bears Men Jersey for a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace. That meant sitting out a Premier League double-header against Leeds and last weekends win at home to Leicester City. In Pat O'Donnell Jersey the meantime, he turned out in both legs of Uniteds 4-3 aggregate Europa League succe s versus Barcelona and he will start at Wembley.One red card recipient who will not take part at Wembley is Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope. The England internationals dismi sal for handball outside his box in the 2-0 lo s to Liverpool only carries a one-match domestic punishment but, unfortunately for Pope, the next game on Newcastles schedule by that stage was the Carabao Cup final.It means an unlikely return to the spotlight for ex-Liverpool keeper Loris Karius, who started in the showpiece match despite ordinarily being third choice. Newcastles No. 2 Martin Dubravka is ineligible for the same reason as Gordon. Earlier this season, he played twice in the Carabao Cup during a loan spell at Manchester United.
