Leading the line Saturday Isak (groin) is in the starting XI to face Chelsea on Saturday.

Impact Isak returns after missing out on four straight matches in all competitions with the injury. The forward has scored six goals in nine league starts and provides Newcastle with a major boost at forward in his return.

Status unclear Isak (groin) is uncertain ahead of Saturday's clash with Chelsea, according to manager Eddie Howe."I don't want to give too much away. I think the majority of players we've spoken...

Impact Isak was expected to return Saturday and then out of nowhere Howe mentioned returns in January and December when asked about Isak. Hopefully it's an awkward mishap in the answer because losing Isak any longer would be a major concern throughout the Newcastle first team. Callum Wilson (hamstring) is out long-term so even though Isak is recovering from injury he will be thrown back into the starting XI if fit.

Will be fit to face Chelsea Isak (groin) is expected to be fit to face Chelsea once the Premier League resumes on Nov. 25, Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reports.

Impact Isak was not called up by Sweden for the November round of international fixtures due to the injury, but he has been progressing well enough and is expected to be considered for the Chelsea match once the league resumes. The return of Isak would be a massive boost for the Magpies, as he has six goals across eight appearances (six starts) in league play.

Impact Isak is still hoping to make his return immediately after the international break. The forward suffered an aggravation of the same injury that has plagued him all season in his first start back so it seems likely he won't be rushed back until he is fully fit and available.

Impact Isak won't be back until after the international break, as expected. This means Callum Wilson will be in line for multiple chances to lead the line. Isak has struggled with this groin injury twice in 2023/24 and won't be rushed back despite being a crucial part of the attack.

Set for return after break Isak (groin) won't be returning until after the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Alex, we hope, will be back after the international break."

Impact Isak groin injury was deemed not serious a couple of days ago, but the forward will still be missing a decent amount of time, as he will be out until after the international break, according to manager Eddie Howe. It is already known information that Isak reaggravated the same injury he held during the last international break and will most likely be held out until he is 100 percent to be cautious. Callum Wilson should remain in the starting role while the Swed is out, and his first match expected back will be against Chelsea on Nov. 25.

Groin injury not serious Isak (groin) isn't expected to be out long-term with his groin injury, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Isak's groin injury was immediately deemed non-serious though he is set to undergo scans Friday. It's good news, though Howe did confirm that it's the same injury he suffered with Sweden, so there is some concern surrounding the fact that he aggravated the injury on his return to the starting XI. Isak will of course be out for Saturday's trip to Wolves, giving Callum Wilson the start.

Aggravates groin injury Isak aggravated the groin injury he was dealing with previously, Craig Hope of the Daily Mail reports.

Impact Isak made his first start after returning from the groin injury during Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Dortmund and immediately re-injured it in the first half. It's not clear how long the striker will be sidelined but it's entirely possible he's done until the November international break. Manager Eddie Howe should have some insight on the timeline ahead of a Saturday trip to Wolves, where Callum Wilson will be the top choice to lead the attack.

Forced off immediately Isak was forced off with an apparent injury 15 minutes into Wednesday's clash with Dortmund.

Impact Isak was making his first start back from a groin injury and lasted just 15 minutes before being forced off. There's definitely concern that aggravating the same injury could see Isak sidelined for an extended period though more updates will come from Eddie Howe post match. Callum Wilson came on to replace Isak and is in solid form with plenty of ability to lead the line with Isak out.

Back to full fitness Isak is fully fit and available for Wednesday's clash with Dortmund, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I'm really pleased with where's he at. The West Ham game, his last start for...

Impact Isak is ready to lead the line once more and should be able to get back in the starting XI ahead of Callum Wilson. While Wilson isn't a poor option Isak has been exceptional when on the pitch with six goals in six starts in 2023/24. Isak was able to play 20 minutes during Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, and had started all three matches prior to that.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns off bench Isak came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of Saturday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Isak didn't train throughout the break but actually managed to pass the late fitness tests and got an appearance Saturday. It's a great sign for the striker who now has the chance to take his role as the top choice back from Callum Wilson. His first chance to get back in the starting XI is in the Champions League against Dortmund on Wednesday.

Still not training Isak (groin) has yet to train ahead of Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Alex hasn't trained with us yet. We're going to leave it late to s...

Impact It doesn't sound like Isak will be ready to start Saturday unless he makes a miraculous recovery in the next 24 hours despite not training over the break. All signs point to Callum Wilson being back in the XI in what appears to be a great spot for goals, as Crystal Palace have plenty of injury issues of their own.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bags brace, forced off late Isak bagged a brace in Sunday's draw against West Ham but asked to come off late in the match. According to manager Eddie Howe, "fingers crossed" that he is okay.

Impact Isak has found a bit of form in recent matches, scoring four goals in four matches ahead of the international break. He supposedly picked up a calf issue a little more than a week ago, but since that came up, he made three starts in nine days and that culminated in the brace against West Ham. If he doesn't play with Sweden over the international break, that may be a cause for concern, but for now, this isn't viewed as a serious injury.

Nets penalty Isak scored once from six shots (four on target) and created two chances in Saturday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Impact With fellow striker Callum Wilson out through injury, Isak was back in the starting XI having started on the bench for the previous game. He struck home a penalty to score for the second match running and could easily have had more than one, missing a golden opportunity in the first half. His goal takes him to four for the season. Wilson could be back for the visit to West Ham on Sunday and manager Eddie Howe could decide to rotate his strikers with the fixtures coming thick and fast.

Scores against Burnley Isak scored one goal to go with six shots (four on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Burnley.

Impact Isak has found the back of the net in back-to-back Premier League matches and has four goals already. Given he started and looked threatening upfront, he should remain in the starting lineup when the Magpies take on PSG in the UEFA Champions League group stage on Wednesday.

Late check for weekend Isak (calf) will be a late check for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact It's not much of a new update on Isak, who suffered the issue in Wednesday's Cup match. As long as Callum Wilson is ready to start, Isak is expected to be available off the bench Saturday and then start against PSG on Wednesday, which has been the rotation at forward the past couple weeks.

Impact This doesn't sound overly serious for Isak, but with Callum Wilson dealing with a muscle problem of his own, it's not a great situation at Newcastle. If Isak is fine, there's a chance he'll be the only starting No. 9 available for a hectic couple weeks, as they host PSG next Wednesday in addition to a couple league matches.

Scores as substitute Isak scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 8-0 victory over Sheffield United.

Impact Isak subbed on in the second half and scored Newcastle's eighth goal in the 87th minute to seal the deal. That was his third goal in the season. The forward made his first appearance off bench after five starts, and will now look to reclaim his spot.

Struggles against Milan Isak drew four fouls, won five duels, and created one scoring chance in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against AC Milan.

Impact Isake was reasonably slippery but the defenders keyed on him and he failed to take a shot for the second time in the campaign. He has scored twice and added eight shots (four on target), and two chances created in five appearances. Newcastle will visit Sheffield United Sunday.

Four shots in loss Isaak attempted four shots (none on target) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Brighton.

Impact Isak scored twice in the opening-day victory against Aston Villa, but has only managed one shot on target in the three games since. With Callum Wilson pushing for a place in the starting XI, Isak needs to start delivering or he could soon find himself warming the bench.
