Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is a doubt for the upcoming match against Fulham after suffering a toe injury, Daily Mail’s Craig Hope reported on September 19. This unexpected setback leaves the Magpies anxious about the fitness of their star forward, especially with Callum Wilson already sidelined until next month due to a back injury.

The same could be said in defence, although Fabian Schar and Dan Burn's partnership will continue, with Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles out. But at full-back, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall will be very aware of the presence of Kieran Trippier and Lloyd Kelly on the bench.

Alexander Isak starts for Newcastle United against Fulham - as Eddie Howe names four changes to his starting line-up. Isak had been a doubt heading into the fixture after withdrawing at half-time in last Sunday’s 2-1 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers because of swelling around his eye and a foot injury.
