Newcastle’s Isak to Miss FA Cup Clash with Bromley Due to Injury
Injury Update: Isak to Sit Out FA Cup Match
Newcastle United’s leading scorer Alexander Isak will miss the club’s FA Cup third-round clash with fourth-tier side Bromley on Sunday after picking up an injury during Tuesday’s 2-0 League Cup win over Arsenal. Manager Eddie Howe confirmed that Isak, who scored his 50th goal for Newcastle in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final tie, was forced off the field in the second half.
"We think he’s pretty good. He’s seeing his physio at the moment. I’ve given him a couple of days’ rest, but he is in a good place and will report back tomorrow," Howe said. "It doesn’t look like a serious injury, not from the initial assessments. But fingers crossed."
Isak’s Recent Form
Isak has been in impressive form, scoring 10 goals in his last nine appearances for Newcastle, helping the club win seven straight games in all competitions. The 25-year-old is the joint third top scorer in the league this season with 13 goals, five behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. He joined Newcastle in 2022 for a club record 63 million pounds (US$78.95 million).
Newcastle’s Schedule
Newcastle will host Wolverhampton Wanderers in a league game on Wednesday, followed by matches with Bournemouth and Southampton later this month. "The feeling in the group is really strong at the moment, as you can imagine," Howe said. "We are in a busy spell of fixtures. We’re trying to win as many games as possible to continue that form and see where we end up."
Conclusion
Isak’s injury is a setback for Newcastle, but the club is confident that he will make a quick recovery. With a busy schedule ahead, Howe will need to decide on a replacement for Isak in the FA Cup match against Bromley. Despite this, Newcastle remains in a strong position in the league, and fans will be hoping that the team can continue their winning streak.
