Eddie Howe has waxed lyrical over Alexander Isak's performance against Wolves and moved to clarify comments he previously made over the striker's fitness.
Isak started from the outset against Julen Lopetegui's side and repaid Howe's faith with a well-taken header and an impressive all-round performance in the 2-1 win. The Swede hasn't started too many games of late, with Howe telling reporters on Friday that Isak wasn't currently fit enough to play 90 minutes.
"Is he 100 per cent ready to play 90 minutes on a consistent basis? Probably not. But he will get there. We will build him to that level," Howe told the media this week. However, speaking after Newcastle's much-needed victory, Howe wanted to clarify those comments.
