    Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope could reportedly miss the rest of this season after suffering a serious shoulder injury in Saturday's 1-0 win over Manchester United.<\/p>\n

    The Telegraph has reported Pope is 'expected to miss four to five months' following the blow, which was him withdrawn in the 86th minute of Saturday's hard-fought victory. Martin Dubravka – who spent the first half of last season on loan at Old Trafford – replaced him and looks most likely to fill in over the coming months.<\/p>\n

    England manager Gareth Southgate will also be keeping watch over Pope's condition ahead of Euro 2024 in Germany next year. The former Burnley stopper has earned calls to be included in the Three Lions set-up after impressing during Newcastle's recent rise up the Premier League but failed to feature for his country in their successful qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n

    Pope, 31, was clearly in discomfort after an attempted save saw him land on his left side and seemingly dislodge his shoulder at the joint. He immediately signalled to the touchline and grimaced as medical staff helped him off the field. <\/p>\n

    \u201cThat\u2019s the disappointment on the night,\u201d said Newcastle manager Eddie Howe after Saturday's win. \u201cNick looks like he\u2019s dislocated his shoulder. Such a strange thing, really, because he\u2019d have made that dive thousands of times.<\/p>\n

    Where will Newcastle finish in the Premier League this season? Let us know in the comments section below.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    \u201cIt looks like maybe the arm has just kept on going, maybe on the moist floor, and his shoulder has come out of his joint. We\u2019re going to have to seek specialist opinion and then see what happens, but it doesn\u2019t look good."<\/p>\n

    The absence is particularly badly timed at this point in the calendar, with the Magpies facing a crunch encounter at home to AC Milan to decide their Champions League fate on December 13. That's in addition to a Carabao Cup quarter-final at Chelsea on December 19 and league games against Manchester City, Tottenham and Liverpool, as well as a Tyne-Wear derby with Sunderland in the FA Cup, all before the end of January.<\/p>\n
