Ahead of their return to Premier League action against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend, Newcastle United have reportedly received a second injury boost alongside Alexander Isak’s return.
Newcastle injury news
After injuries controlled the narrative for much of Newcastle’s last campaign and they failed to welcome further depth in the summer transfer window, concerns would have started to creep in when Eddie Howe was struggling for numbers once again before the international break. With defeat at Fulham followed by two draws against Manchester City and Everton, the Magpies desperately needed some reprieve.
Handed that break courtesy of the international break, Howe’s side have since been handed the positive news of Isak’s return to training ahead of their clash against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.
Newcastle have been without a goal in open play since his injury against Fulham four games ago, highlighting just how crucial a role he plays at St James’ Park. As they look to get back to their best in front of goal, however, the Swede isn’t the only one set to make a Newcastle return.
As reported by the Shields Gazette, Callum Wilson is also back in training and in line to make his return for the first time in five months against Brighton this weekend. The veteran forward has been sidelined all season, but is finally set to make his return and hand the Magpies much-needed depth behind Isak.
