Nick Pope injury puts Euro 2024 hopes in doubt as Newcastle suffer huge blow
Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope will be ruled out for up to five months, according to reports.
The 31-year-old suffered a dislocated shoulder in his side's 1-0 victory against Manchester United on Saturday.
Pope dived at full stretch to prevent a volley from full-back Sergio Reguilon, which was blocked by Fabian Schar.
He was then replaced by backup and ex-Red Devils loanee Martin Dubravka on the 86 minutes.
According to the Telegraph, Pope faces a battle to return for the end of the 2022/23 season in May, one month before England's Euro 2024 campaign begins.
Pope's injury no doubt hinders his chances of England selection ahead of next summer's tournament in Germany.
The England international was, however, left out of the most recent Three Lions squad by manager Gareth Southgate.
It is a bigger blow for Newcastle as Eddie Howe's injury crisis only deepens.
Pope is understood to be seeing a specialist on Monday to get an understanding of the severity of his injury.
