The attacker was seen pulling up before receiving treatment on a leg issue for a couple of minutes.
Gordon went straight down the tunnel with a physio after hobbling off the pitch.
It had been hoped the 24-year-old would be able to provide the goals for Eddie Howe‘s under siege Newcastle squad – with star man Alexander Isak not featuring due to the speculation over his future.
A frustrating pre-season plagued by several player snubs in the transfer market only got worse for Newcastle with the news of Gordon’s knock, which could leave him out of action for weeks.
And it was enough for fans emotions to boil over in frustration as they vented on social media.
One angry supporter said: “Game over, Gordon out for weeks clearly.What an absolute joke..”
A second said: “Gordon done his hammy, we are utterly f***ed…”

A third added: “The real frustration is that Gordon was look revitalised and full of energy, with a willingness to press and chase anything.”
Another said: “Gordon’s hamstring going is the last thing we need.”
A fifth said: “Literally starting the season without a striker or even our make shift one of Gordon. I know pre season is for ‘fitness’ but we’ve looked so poor in both boxes. I have no words.”
The Magpies lost the game 2-0 in the end courtesy of goals from Julian Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann.
For their opening Premier League game against Aston Villa next weekend, Howe’s options for the No9 spot now comes down to 22-year-old William Osula as the only natural striker at the club.
Newcastle have recently been linked with a second attempt at signing Brentford‘s Yoane Wissa in a deal potentially worth up to £35million.
Meanwhile, Toon are on the brink of signing AC Milan defender Malick Thiaw worth an initial £30m plus £4.3m in potential add-ons.
