Anthony Gordon News: Returns in starting XI

Gordon (ankle) makes the starting XI for Saturday's opener against Aston Villa.

Gordon starts Saturday's season opener as expected after his minor ankle issue, with the player downplaying the situation earlier in the week on social media before returning to take his usual spot in the XI. Gordon will hope to regain his goal contributions from 2023/24 since he will be needed in good shape to help replace Alexander Isak who is on the move.
