Newcastle United have confirmed that Alexander Isak missed his side’s trip to Arsenal on Sunday with a “minor groin injury”. Isak has been a familiar tormentor for Arsenal this season. The prolific Sweden international scored the only goal of the reverse fixture at St.

Alexander Isak is not in the Newcastle United squad for the trip to Arsenal on Sunday, missing out due to a minor groin injury. Magpies boss Eddie Howe has made just one change after beating Chelsea last time out, bringing in Callum Wilson for the injured Swede.

Howe went on to effectively rule out Trippier for the trip to the Emirates Stadium after he missed the win over Chelsea with a calf issue. Willock has been nursing a knee problem and scored on Newcastle’s previous visit to the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League last February.
