da spicy bet: One of the break-out stars of Newcastle’s campaign last season, Sean Longstaff has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the top-flight of English football.
The academy product’s loan spell at Blackpool in League One during the 2017/2018 campaign kick-started his path into the Newcastle first-team, and he was promptly rewarded with a four-year contract last year.
After making his first senior appearance for the club in a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool, Longstaff perhaps more than most would have desperately wanted to play in Newcastle’s clash against the Reds on Saturday.
However, speaking in his pre-match press conference, Steve Bruce confirmed the 21-year-old suffered a “freak” ankle injury and ruled the midfielder out of the game at Anfield.
After hearing the injury update on Longstaff, Newcastle fans flooded to Twitter to voice their concerns about the situation ahead of the match.
Many supporters of the Tyneside club felt that all hope of securing an improbable result at the home of the Champions League winners is lost, following the 21-year-old’s injury.
Some fans even wondered whether it would be possible to forfeit the game, whilst others claimed choosing alternative options like Jonjo Shelvey or Ki Sung-yeung would lead to an absolute mauling at Anfield.
Check out some of the reaction of Newcastle fans below:
