The Magpies were able to cope without Pope in their recent match against Everton, but they will now face a challenge in their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur. In the meantime, Aaron Ramsdale will take over as the starting goalkeeper.

Ramsdale, who was loaned to Newcastle from Southampton last summer, has been patient for his chance to prove himself under Howe's management. With Pope's injury, Ramsdale now has the opportunity to showcase his skills and demonstrate his value to the team.

Ramsdale's performance against Everton was impressive, and Howe praised him for his ability to distribute the ball effectively and handle the few shots he faced. Howe also noted that Ramsdale's playing style is different from Pope's, but both goalkeepers are effective in their own ways.

Howe expressed his disappointment at losing Pope, but he remains hopeful that the goalkeeper will be back on the field soon.

The outcome of Pope's scan will determine the length of his absence from the team, and the Magpies will need to rely on Ramsdale's skills in the meantime.
