Nick Pope has been pictured with his left arm in a sling following the injury he sustained during Newcastle’s 1-0 win against Manchester United on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The England international was seen\u00a0leaving Juniper Restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
He is the latest Magpies star to be set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a repeat of the dislocated shoulder problem he experienced while at\u00a0Burnley.<\/p>\n
Pope did not play for just over five months on that previous occasion between July 2018 and January 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An operation is currently considered the most likely course of action amid an expected absence of around four months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newcastle are considering a possible move for former Man United goalkeeper David de Gea<\/p>\n
Back up keeper Martin Dubravka came on to replace Pope against United, where he had a brief loan spell last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Slovakian helped Newcastle preserve their 1-0 lead as they secured a deserved victory against\u00a0Erik ten Hag’s inconsistent outfit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pope’s anticipated prolonged absence has motivated Eddie Howe to look toward the upcoming transfer window\u00a0as a source of replenishment for his stricken side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Former Man United star David de Gea, who has been a free agent since leaving Old Trafford last summer, is being considered as an addition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Spaniard would have obvious appeal given his pedigree, immediate availability and the fact he would not require a transfer fee.<\/p>\n
Though he was on \u00a3375,000-per-week during his final contract in Manchester and would have to accept lower to fit in with their wage structure if Newcastle were to make a firm move for him.<\/p>\n
Howe’s side also have Loris Karius, who faced Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final last season, and Mark Gillespie among their goalkeeping ranks though the latter has yet to play a league game since returning to the club in 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n
