Fresh update on £57m Newcastle United duo after Alexander Isak blow

Newcastle United duo Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier have been pictured heading to Germany for Euro 2024.

The England squad flew to Germany on Monday and will be based in the small town of Blankenhain for the duration of the tournament. The Weimarer Land Golf Hotel and Spa where England will be staying was hosts Germany's preferred base but they are instead set to train at Adidas’ headquarters in Herzogenaurach due to sponsorship reasons. Trippier and Gordon could potentially visit the Adidas headquarters with Newcastle next month for pre-season. In the meantime, they will be hoping to help England to European Championship success.

Gordon and Trippier started England’s 1-0 defeat to Iceland in the final Euro 2024 warm-up at Wembley Stadium on Friday. England’s first group stage match takes place on Sunday, June 16 (8pm kick-off BST) against Serbia.

And Serbia head into the match having just beaten a Sweden side featuring Newcastle duo Alexander Isak and Emil Krafth 3-0. Krafth started the match while Isak came on as a second-half substitute with former Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic getting on the scoresheet.
