Eddie Howe has admitted his Newcastle players face an injury risk because of their new high-intensity style - as he explained Alexander Isak's chances of featuring against Liverpool.
United have an injury crisis ahead of their trip to Anfield with star trio Bruno Guimaraes, Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson all nursing hamstring problems.
Howe says his players will have to adapt to their physical output, which has been one of the highest in the league, because the energetic tactics won’t change. Record signing Isak is also a doubt because he is still waiting for a work permit - but Howe has explained he will get every chance to feature having been fully involved in training.
