00:00Newcastle United defender Sven Bottman is expected to miss the Carabao Cup final against
00:05Liverpool next week. According to reports, Bottman, who has not played since the semi-final
00:10second leg against Arsenal, will undergo surgery for a knee problem that will likely keep him
00:15sidelined for a number of weeks. Bottman had only returned to action for the Magpies in
00:20January following several months out with an anterior cruciate ligament tear in his
00:26other knee. Newcastle are already without winger Anthony Gordon and left-back Lewis
00:31Hall for the final, with this latest setback decreasing their chances of finally ending
00:37the long wait for major silverware on Tyneside.
00:42Sunderland head coach Regis Lebris has confirmed that winger Juan Paveda will miss the next
00:47three to four weeks with injury. This is another setback for the winger in what has been a
00:53frustrating season so far.
01:24Bradford City boss Graeme Alexander has said that there are no easy games in League 2 as
01:30his side prepare to face Gillingham next.
01:54We stay humble, we keep our egos out of everything that we've got a lot of work to do and John
02:03Coleman, Gillingham, it's not going to be easy. So we have to make sure that we approach
02:09the game in the same way we have been doing for months now.
