The forward of the Swedish national team had disappeared from the squad i The 0-0 at Manchester United today. According to the British Daily Mail, the 23-year-old suffered a setback in rehabilitation of his thigh injury.
At the end of September, Isak left a national team meeting after injuring himself in training. Then Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said this:
– He got injured while training with Sweden. He came back and the x-rays showed he wasn’t bad. We’re not too worried that this is a long-term injury, but I think you should be wary of any muscle injuries. Isak runs on the grass, so he’s fine right now.
After today’s game, where it was thought that Isak would return, it sounds different.
Now the goal is for the striker, who has scored two goals in three league games with the “Magpies”, to return when the Premier League restarts after the World Cup, which for Newcastle is away on 26 December against Leicester.
The club has five games left before the league break.
