Newcastle have confirmed striker Alexander Isak will miss Wednesday's game against Liverpool with a “slight groin problem”. The Sweden international has been in fine form this season, scoring 19 Premier League goals as Eddie Howe’s side look to qualify for the Champions League again.

Newcastle United are looking at new strikers ahead of this summer ahead of an anticipated Liverpool transfer move for Alexander Isak. The Magpies could be facing a worrying situation in the weeks and months ahead as the form of star player Isak is surely going to make it very challenging for them to keep hold of him.

Alexander Isak has been ruled out of Newcastle’s Premier League clash with Liverpool due to a groin injury. ‘Alexander Isak misses out through a slight groin problem this evening,’ a brief message on Newcastle’s official X account read ahead of kick-off.
