Is Newcastle striker Alexander Isak fit for Brighton game? Premier League injury update
Newcastle host Brighton on Saturday and Alexander Isak is available after toe injury
Alexander Isak is back in contention for Newcastle United’s home game against Brighton.
Newcastle are just two points off the top four in the Premier League but will be looking to Isak to help them get back to winning ways after he missed draws against Manchester City and Everton with a broken toe.
The Magpies are seventh and take on sixth-placed Brighton on Saturday with Kieran Trippier a doubt with a hamstring issue. But manager Eddie Howe has been boosted by Isak’s return to training after sitting out Sweden’s Nations League fixtures this month.
Isak has scored one goal and assisted another in his five Premier League appearances this season but is a key player for Howe, who also shared positive news about fellow striker Callum Wilson.
“Alex has trained and trained well,” Howe said in his press conference ahead of the visit of Brighton. “The toe his fully healed.”
