Alexander Isak Newcastle United injury update: official training ground footage has been released in advance of Liverpool’s match. Alexander Isak, the Newcastle United striker, is currently the subject of intensive scrutiny regarding his fitness in anticipation of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on March 16.

 

 

Isak was unable to attend the Premier League match between Newcastle and Liverpool at Anfield last week due to an abdominal issue. On Sunday, he was reinstated to the starting lineup for the FA Cup match against Brighton & Hove Albion. However, he was forced to leave the game after falling ill during the 2-1 loss.

 

 

 

Eddie Howe, the head coach, promptly dismissed any concerns regarding potential injuries after the full-time whistle. However, the fitness of players such as Isak is becoming increasingly concerning, given that Newcastle has already lost crucial players in Anthony Gordon, Lewis Hall, and Sven Botman for the Wembley trip. Wednesday is the day on which Alexander Isak trains.

 

 

 

 

Despite social media speculation that Isak was uncertain about his participation in the Carabao Cup final, the striker fulfilled his broadcast media obligations at Darsley Park on Wednesday. Keith Downie of Sky Sports provided an optimistic update from the training ground, stating that Isak is “moving well and in good spirits” in anticipation of the forthcoming games.

 

 

 

 

Additionally, Serena Taylor, the club’s official photographer, captured Isak in training at Darsley Park on Wednesday, providing an additional boost. The 25-year-old was photographed individually, rather than in a full-contact session. However, he was observed sprinting on the grass and holding a ball at his feet. Newcastle United’s selection dilemmas in anticipation of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool and their match against West

 

 

 

Ham United Howe is confronted with a number of critical decisions regarding team selection, including the final against Liverpool at Wembley and two critical games against West Ham United in the Premier League. Newcastle’s sole available left-sided centre-back, Dan Burn, will be under increased pressure to maintain his fitness in the wake of Botman’s absence.

 

 

 

Tino Livramento is expected to replace Hall at left-back, as he did against Brighton, as a result of Hall’s injury. Meanwhile, Gordon’s absence on the left wing presents Howe with a variety of options to consider. Harvey Barnes is the most natural left-winger available to Howe, but Joelinton and Joe Willock are also viable options.
