Starting against Arsenal Isak (groin) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Arsenal.

Impact Isak's return to the team sheet is a huge boost for the club, as they have their regular starting striker back after he missed the past three matches due to a groin issue. The forward should continue to see the start at striker in almost match from here on out until Callum Wilson is healthy, as he is the team's only true striker still healthy, having bagged 10 goals in his 18 Premier League appearnces this season.

Targeting Saturday return Isak (groin) trained ahead of Saturday's clash with Newcastle and could make a return, according to manager Eddie Howe."With Alex, again, he's a really important player. He's train...

Impact Isak returning would be a major boon after Callum Wilson (pectoral) was ruled out until May. Anthony Gordon has been filling in to lead the line with Wilson and Isak both sidelined, but he simply doesn't offer as much in that more central role. If Isak is deemed fit enough to play he could be thrown straight back into the starting XI.

Trains Wednesday Isak (groin) was pictured on the training pitch ahead of Saturday's match against Arsenal, per Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Impact Isak looks to be making decent progress on his return to play, having started training after missing the past three matches due to a groin issue. This now gives the striker a decent chance of being an option for Saturday, although that will depend on how trains over these next couple of days. If he is an option, there is a decent chance he gets the start, as he is the only true striker that would be healthy, with Callum Wilson (pectoral) out until May. However, if he doesn't play, expect Anthony Gordon to start up top again.

Impact Isak suffered yet another groin injury during a 3-1 win over Aston Villa, but this injury appears not to be as serious.

Impact Isak suffered another groin injury during Tuesday's 3-1 win against Aston Villa, his third groin issue of the season. It appears this one isn't as serious as the prior two, but it still seems to be enough to keep Isak out of the starting XI. Anthony Gordon will likely lead the line, with Miguel Almiron filling in on the left wing.

Groin injury once more Isak (groin) suffered a groin injury during Tuesday's 3-1 win over Aston Villa, manager Eddie Howe told reporters.

Impact Isak suffered yet another groin injury, his third such injury in the last two months. The positive is that the injury reportedly isn't very serious. With Callum Wilson (calf) also injured it's possible Miguel Almiron is forced into the starting XI for Saturday's clash with Luton Town.

Picks up injury Isak was forced off with an apparent injury during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Isak came off after just 43 minutes with yet another injury concern. Miguel Almiron came on to replace Isak, but he isn't a like-for-like replacement as a striker. With Callum Wilson (calf) still sidelined Newcastle are left without a fit striker in the senior squad. Isak has little time to return before a Saturday clash with Luton Town.

Scores against City Isak scored one goal to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 defeat against Manchester City.

Impact Isak scored the first equalizing goal in the match Saturday before City would eventually go on to win, finding the back of the net in the 35th minute off of a Bruno Guimaraes assist. This was Isak's third match in a row with a goal, giving him 10 on the season in 16 appearances. He now sits at sixth in the Premier League scoring charts, having three more than the next-highest scorer on Newcastle. He will hope to carry his great goal-scoring form into the club's next match against third-place Aston Villa.

Nets in loss Isak scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 4-2 loss against Liverpool.

Impact Isak scored once during Monday's loss, a nice finish when he got in behind. The striker is back fit and should consistently be the first choice to lead the line moving forward. When fit Isak has been one of the most impressive pieces of the starting XI, and a consistent threat to score.

Impact Isak returns from a groin injury which kept him out of last week's match against Fulham. The forward is available from the bench with Callum Wilson leading the line Saturday.

Doubtful for Luton Town match Isak (groin) is "50/50" for Saturday's trip to Luton Town, per manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It does not seem likely that Isak will return Saturday, unless he makes a fast recovery before Saturday's match. He's started five of the previous six games played, recording two goals on 10 shots) two on target) in that span. With Anthony Gordon also questionable, Matt Ritchie could see a rare start at winger for the team.

Impact Isak used Saturday to continue to recover from a groin injury. He will aim for a come back for Saturday's trip to Luton Town if the forward can train fully with the team. Callum Wilson could see another start at forward if does not pass fitness.

Out of Saturday's squad Isak (groin) is not in the squad to face Fulham on Saturday as he continues to recover from a groin injury.

Impact Isak misses out completely as though manager Eddie Howe mentioned "we don't think it's a problem, but he still has the after effects of his groin injury." It sounds like just a day off for Isak with a busy holiday fixture schedule on the horizon.

Logs UCL goal Isak scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact It took a while, but Isak finally has a goal across this season's Champions League. The goal makes potentially going into the UCL knockout stage a little easier. While the Magpies need to defeat AC Milan on Dec. 13, they could perhaps advance even if the Parisians draw with Borussia Dortmund for their next game. Until then, Isak and Newcastle United must go through a demanding three-game schedule for Premier League action. On the plus side, Isak now has goals in back-to-back games, creating some positive momentum for himself as the Magpies prepare to begin their December schedule.
