Just when things couldn’t look much worse, Gordon, 24, was forced off in their 2-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid with an apparent injury.
The England international initially received urgent medical treatment on the field, before he hobbled off the field and went straight into the dressing room.
When asked about the severity of his injury, Howe said: "We hope he’s ok. It's an ankle problem. We initially thought it was a muscle. The good news is it's just a twist. The initial feeling is he should be OK."
