Newcastle's Nick Pope Ruled Out for Three Weeks With Groin Injury as Ramsdale Takes Over

Specialist assessment set a three-week timetable that covers six fixtures across domestic and European competition.

Overview

Pope sustained the injury in Friday training when he was wrong‑footed on a shot, according to Eddie Howe.
A scan and specialist confirmed the prognosis with a likely Boxing Day return at Manchester United.
He is set to miss Tottenham on December 2, Burnley on December 6, Bayer Leverkusen on December 10, Sunderland on December 14, Fulham on December 17, and Chelsea on December 20.
Aaron Ramsdale, who started the 4-1 win at Everton, is expected to start during this six‑game stretch.
Ramsdale joined on a season‑long loan from Southampton in the summer with an option to buy.
