Newcastle United star Alexander Isak provides injury update after Eddie Howe fitness claim

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak insists he has no injury or fitness concerns after featuring in both of Sweden's recent international fixtures. The forward, 23, started from the outset in the 3-0 defeat to Belgium and the 5-0 win over Azerbaijan in recent days, coming through both matches unscathed.

Newcastle fans held their breath as their club-record signing plied his trade for his country due to his injury issues earlier this season. Isak has started to find his feet in a black and white shirt of late after overcoming multiple thigh problems that saw him on the treatment table during the first-half of the season.

The attacker was asked by Swedish outlet Fotboll Skanalen about his recovery and current fitness on Monday, replying: "There's no problem. The club knows about it [his recovery] and is a little more satisfied this time."
