Alexander Isak - Page 24 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

No timeline for return Isak (thigh) has no timeline for his return, manager Eddie Howe told reporters."The medical team have tried to just look at his recovery day by day and just get him in the best phy...

Impact Isak ended up missing the clash with Bournemouth and no timeline for his return certainly isn't the most encouraging diagnosis. There is still a chance Isak is back for a Boxing Day trip to Leicester, but more likely than not he will be out for that match. His status will remain uncertain until Howe is able to give a more definite update.

Out for EFL Cup contest Isak (thigh) won't be available for Tuesday's EFL match against Bournemouth, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Not much has changed with Alex, we're still in the same situation. We...

Impact Isak was expected to be ready around now but needs a little longer to recover his fitness. With Callum Wilson and Chris Wood in good shape, there is little reason to rush Isak back but a busy schedule will still give the Swede plenty of chances to play.

Expected back in late-December Isak (thigh) is being managed carefully during a winter camp in Saudi Arabia in order to be ready for the Dec. 21 League Cup match against Bournemouth or the Dec. 26 EPL contest ag...

Impact Isak doesn't have any assurances just yet but an initial time frame for his return has now been disclosed by the manager. With two goals in his first three games for Newcastle way back at the start of the season, Isak will be a major asset when fully fit.

DECEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Continuing recovery Isak (thigh) was pictured working on his recovery during Sunday's session in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Impact Isak is tracking in the right direction to return by late-December but hasn't received full clearance just yet. He scored two goals in three appearances after joining Newcastle and will be a major asset to watch how he performs on his return.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

About five weeks until return Isak "has been having a couple of injections into his thing," according to manager Eddie Howe. "I believe that's gone well and the medical team are happy with where he currently st...

Impact Isak will hope to be ready for the league return on Boxing Day, but that'll depend on if he can actually return to training before then. If all goes well, he'll be in full training by early December and have multiple weeks to get back his fitness. Once that happens, it'll be interesting to see how Newcastle look up front with everyone healthy.

Impact Isak has already missed three games and is now expected to miss at least five more, putting a timeline on the Swedish star's recovery. It's disappointing as he scored three times in five matches to open his time in England but now won't be seen until late-December at the earliest. In his absence, Callum Wilson should continue as the first choice but Chris Wood has also been named by the manager as one whose minutes could increase.

Remains without timeline Isak (strain) doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Eddie Howe. "It's unknown at the minute. He's presenting very well and running on grass. He's increasing his s...

Impact This is kind of similar update to last week on Isak and it kind of feels like he'll be out another couple weeks. While he's running on the grass, that's not the same as training and working your muscles in weird ways. Fortunately for Newcastle, Callum Wilson looked well last weekend and will remain in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Injury not as bad as feared Isak (strain) is already out "running on grass," according to manager Eddie Howe. "The scan doesn't look too bad, so we're not overly concerned that there's a long injury, but with...

Impact It's a positive sign for Isak, who suffered the injury more than a week ago in training with Sweden. If it's only a tweak, there's a chance he could be back in the squad for the Oct. 8 contest. No matter, Callum Wilson is available again, so those two will likely battle for minutes during an extremely busy portion of the season.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss multiple weeks Isak will reportedly miss multiple weeks with a lower leg injury suffered with the national team, reports Luke Edwards of The Telegraph.

Impact Newcastle can't seem to have nice things after another injury to one of their strikers. Fortunately, Callum Wilson should be ready to return following the break, though this also coincides with a rib injury for Chris Wood. Despite having three players to play central striker, Newcastle may have to change things up out of the international break, as it's hard to see Wilson being ready for a full 90. As for Isak, the report suggests he could be back in a couple weeks.

Leaves Sweden camp Isak has left Sweden camp after picking up an injury, according to the national team. "It is of course sad mainly for Alex but also for us as a team. But after speaking with both...

Impact It's not a great sign for Isak, who had started his first three eligible matches for Newcastle, going a full 90 in the most recent contest against Bournemouth. While he has a little more than a week to recover, the Oct. 1 trip to Fulham could see Callum Wilson back in the starting XI in his first match back from injury.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores penalty in draw Isak fired three shots (all on target) scoring from one of them (a penalty). He also made one tackle in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.

Impact Isak converted a well taken penalty following a Jefferson Lerma handball and was threatening in his forward role. He was denied more goals in this game only by some outstanding goalkeeping from Neto. The 70M signing last month from Real Sociedad looks like he has the ability and the support from key playmakers like Kieran Trippier, Ryan Fraser and Miguel Almiron to deliver goals this season. In his three appearances (all starts) he has scored two and has a good chance of growing that tally in Newcastle's next against Fulham who have conceded goals in their last five EPL matches.
