Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak will not feature in today’s Premier League clash against Arsenal at St James’ Park. The Swedish international has been ruled out due to an ongoing injury, leaving a noticeable gap in the Magpies’ attack.
Manager Eddie Howe confirmed the setback in his pre-match briefing, revealing that Isak has not recovered in time for the fixture. The club has not specified the exact nature of the injury but reassured fans that it is being carefully managed.
Isak’s absence is a blow for Newcastle, as the striker has been in strong form this season, contributing significantly to their attacking efforts. Howe will likely adjust his lineup accordingly, with other options in the forward department expected to step up in the Swedish striker’s absence.
