Eddie Howe has issued a cautiously optimistic injury update on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak ahead of tomorrow night’s Premier League game against Wolves. The Magpies have been in superb form of late thanks largely to the performances of their talismanic centre forward.

Murphy has now assisted Isak NINE times during his whole of his time at Newcastle, more than anyone else throughout the Swede's entire career to date. It's a combination which is working so well that it could affect United's transfer strategy, with Howe delighted with Murphy's contribition.

Alexander Isak made the move to St. James' Park from Real Sociedad in a reported £63million deal, eclipsing the fee they paid for Joelinton when he joined from Hoffenheim in 2019

Isak starred as Newcastle beat Arsenal 2-0 last week in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, scoring once while teeing up the other for Anthony Gordon. The Sweden international, however, was substituted just after the hour mark against the Gunners with what Newcastle manager Howe would later confirm was a tight hamstring.
