Alexander Isak missed Newcastle United’s 1-0 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday due to a groin problem. The Newcastle striker, who has scored 27 goals in all competitions this season, withdrew from the squad for the trip to the Emirates Stadium after a flare-up of a groin issue that has previously impacted him during the campaign.

Despite a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal yesterday, Eddie Howe’s side remain in third place heading into the final day of the campaign, but they are separated from Nottingham Forest in seventh by just a single point.
