The striker of Newcastle United, Alexander IsakHe retired to limating the farm in his last match against Brighton & Hove Albion, but the coach Eddie Howe It reduced the importance of fears of an injury and said Swede was available for the final league cup against Liverpool, next week.
Having a 25 -Year -old Swedish International is a great relief for Newcastle, fighting for a position in Europe and also has the opportunity to win the first major trophy since 1955 when it faces the current champion, Liverpool, at the end of the League Cup in Wembley on March 16.
The Newcastle was ready to not have Anthony Gordon after the end received a red card for violent behavior at home 1-2 against Brighton in the fifth cycle of FA Cup on Sunday, as well as in defenses Lewis Hall and Sven Botman for injury.
“Alex was fine. On Sunday, when he left, he felt a little tired at the end of the game, some tightness in the body, so we retired. He was trained every day and it was fine,” Howe told journalists on Friday. “I crossed his fingers, yes,” he replied when asked if Isak could play Monday of the Premier League against the West Ham United and the final League Cup. “If it makes sense, play it because that’s the best way to put it in the best physical condition for future games. Footballers are ready athletes and when they are ready to play, they need to do it. You need to give them that opportunity.”
Despite having a contract until 2028, Isak, who scored 21 goals in 31 games in all competitions this season with the Newcastle, linked to a move to the best clubs in Europe, including FC Barcelona and other Premier League clubs, such as Liverpool and Arsenal.
