Magpies reportedly hopeful over star striker after toe problem
Newcastle will hope to have star striker Alexander Isak fit to face Brighton on Saturday.
The forward, a favourite amongst Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players, has missed the last three games after breaking his toe.
Isak has scored only once in the Premier League thus far but has been hailed by Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler ahead of their trip to St James’ Park.
Toon boss Eddie Howe has previously sounded hopeful both Isak and fellow striker Callum Wilson will be in line to feature this month.
Kieran Trippier, however, is out and adds to Howe’s mounting injury list at St James’ Park.
