Eddie Howe delivered a positive update on Alexander Isak return from injury as he lamented Newcastle’s misfortune in a week that has seen Anthony Gordon banned for the Carabao Cup final and Lewis Hall ruled out of the rest of the season.
Newcastle have decided that they will not appeal Gordon’s three-game ban for the red card he received in the FA Cup defeat to Brighton last weekend, while it has been confirmed that left back Hall is out of the rest of the campaign due to a foot injury. Sven Botman, meanwhile, has been ruled out for eight weeks with a knee problem.
