Newcastle United supporters are buzzing after learning Alexander Isak will start up front against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Recent substitute appearances made Toon fans clamour for Eddie Howe to start the £58million record signing.
The Swede has endured a frustrating first season at St James’ Park, with injuries limiting his game time. Despite the setbacks, Isak has impressed in black-and-white stripes when given the chance - as he did at Manchester City last weekend.
Howe revealed at his pre-match press conference that the 23-year-old cannot play an entire 90 minutes but he will spearhead the attack from the start. Callum Wilson, who has scored just once in his last 16 games across all competitions, drops to the bench.
