Newcastle United face a crunch clash against Everton on Sunday - here’s all the latest injury news affecting Eddie Howe ahead of that game.

Alexander Isak is reportedly ‘open’ to a move to London this summer as Arsenal and Chelsea eye moves for the Newcastle United striker. Isak has enjoyed another impressive season at St James’ Park, scoring 27 goals and helping Newcastle end their trophy wait by winning the Carabao Cup.

We still have three matches to be played in Gameweek 37 but there is already plenty to talk about from those matches completed so far in the penultimate gameweek of the 2024-25 season. Injuries for Alexander Isak (£9.
