Scores brace against Forest Isak took five shots and scored two goals in Friday's 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest. He also made four clearances and created a chance in the match.

Impact Isak turned Friday's game around as he equalized just before halftime with an acrobatic strike from a very tough angle and then slotted home the winner late on from the penalty spot. That's now three goals (which all directly won points for his side) from nine shots (four on target) across his last two games, and it seems like he's fully overtaken Callum Wilson as the preferred starting striker for the time being.

Almiron strikes to earn Newcastle 2-1 win over Wolves in EPL

Miguel Almiron came off the bench to reignite Newcastle’s Champions League qualification ambitions with the clinching goal in a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton in the Premier League

Registers goal Isak scored one goal to go with four shots (two on target) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.

Impact Isak got his third start in four matches and scored the team's first goal Sunday. He has missed most of the season with a thigh injury, but is slowly returning to good form with two goals in his last six matches. Because of the time missed, the forward will have to compete with Callum Wilson for a permanent starting role on the team.

Starting ahead of Wilson Isak is in the starting XI for Newcastle during Sunday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Isak gets the nod ahead of Callum Wilson and will lead the line for Newcastle on Sunday. The forward has scored three goals in nine appearances since joining Newcastle in the Summer.

Leading line against Bournemouth Isak is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Bournemouth.

Impact Isak is good to go from the opening whistle after recovering from a concussion. The attacker will lead the line for Newcastle after scoring three goals in five appearances when fit.

Ready to face Bournemouth Isak (concussion) has passed protocol and will be in the squad for Saturday's trip to Bournemouth, according to manager Eddie Howe.

Impact Isak will be available again and there's a slight chance he could draw his first start since September with Bruno Guimaraes still suspended. Allan Saint-Maximin started on the left wing against West Ham, but Howe has already said Isak can play any of the front three spots. No matter, Isak figures to make the pitch at some point Saturday.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Pictured in training Isak (concussion) was seen training with Newcastle on Wednesday, though it's unclear whether it was individual or in full with his teammates.

Impact Isak missed last weekend's draw with West Ham after suffering a concussion in the Carabao Cup semifinal against Southampton at the end of January. He still has a few days to recover before the clash with Bournemouth on Saturday, but he would likely be limited to being a bench option for that game if he is indeed available.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Confirmed as out Isak is not in the match day squad to face West Ham on Saturday.

Impact Isak will miss out on Saturday's match as he continues to recover from a concussion. The forward's next chance will come next weekend at Bournemouth.

FEBRUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt to face West Ham isak (concussion) is following protocol and is unlikely for Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He had very slight signs of concussion so we follow...

Impact It's fairly clear that Isak will be out Saturday, but Howe didn't want to confirm the absence even though concussion protocol means a player has to miss a certain amount of time. Isak suffered the concussion Tuesday, which is less than a week before this match, so he should be out. That being the case, Allan Saint-Maximin figures to start against West Ham with Bruno Guimaraes suspended.

Comes off with head injury Isak came off with a head injury during stoppage time of Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Southampton.

Impact Isak came off with a head injury Tuesday during second half stoppage time. It's a major concern with the possibility for a concussion, though it's likely there won't be an official diagnosis until Isak can undergo more thorough testing. Isak will be a doubt for a Saturday clash with West Ham.

Nets in return Isak scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Fulham.

Impact Isak made his return from a long-term thigh injury and scored off the bench. The striker is a crucial part of a Newcastle attack that has been excellent and should elevate the team as a whole. Isak looked excellent in his cameo off the bench and should be a consistent option in the first team now that he is back to fitness.

Comes off bench in cup match Isak subbed into Tuesday's Carabao Cup quarterfinal victory over Leicester City in the 78th minute.

Impact Isak made his second appearance Tuesday since suffering a thigh injury during the September international break with Sweden, as he started and played the first half of the FA Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday last weekend as well. Newcastle is humming along nicely in third place in the Premier League table so there is no need for manager Eddie Howe to rush Isak back into the lineup before he's fully fit, but expect him to start chipping away at Callum Wilson's playing time at center forward with Chris Wood a reliable third-stringer.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Closer to return Isak (thigh) has a chance for Saturday's FA Cup match after returning to training, according to manager Eddie Howe. "I'm not clear because I don't want to put pressure on Alex. We'...

Impact Isak is getting closer and it seems like he'll be an option off the bench for the Jan. 15 contest at a minimum. He's been out since September so he'll need a couple appearances off the bench before being asked to start, but he's almost there and should be able to feature in the coming weeks.

JANUARY 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could resume training soon Isak (thigh) is "very close" to returning to first-team training manager Eddie Howe told reporters Friday, per Miles Starforth of The Shields Gazette.

Impact With the quick turnaround, Isak probably should be expected to be sidelined for both Saturday's clash against Leeds and a matchup with Arsenal on Tuesday. Considering the forward hasn't featured since Sept. 17, he almost certainly will have to make an appearance or two off the bench before being in contention for the starting XI.

Out for Boxing Day Isak will not play over the holiday season. Coach Eddie Howe added: "He's doing well, and we're pleased with him. Hopefully he can play a big part in January. We just have to make...

Impact Isak missed the team's most recent cup match against Bournemouth, and this news now just confirms what was already believed regarding Newcastle's Boxing Day visit to Leicester. If what Howe says is indeed accurate, the earliest we could see Isak is 3 January against Arsenal, though a mid-month return against Fulham is more realistic.
