As per Craig Hope of The Mail, Alexander Isak edges closer to a return from his groin issue, with a slim chance of featuring in Saturday’s match against Bournemouth.
With Callum Wilson now facing a three-month absence due to surgery on his pectoral tendon, Newcastle finds themselves short on fit strikers, emphasizing the urgency of Isak’s return to fitness.
However, caution is warranted this weekend to avoid exacerbating Isak’s groin problem, which has already sidelined him for several games this season.
Nevertheless, the nearing comeback hints at his availability for the upcoming trip to Arsenal and the subsequent FA Cup clash against Blackburn, offering reassurance for Newcastle’s upcoming fixtures.
This situation underscores the necessity of prioritizing the acquisition of a new forward in the summer, as both Wilson and Isak, while reliable when fit, cannot be relied upon to remain available for an entire season.
