“Newcastle United in PANIC MODE as Alexander Isak’s SHOCKING Scan Results Spark LAST-SECOND Crisis!”

Newcastle United will give Alexander Isak every opportunity to feature against Everton on Sunday.

The Sweden international, named in his national squad for next month’s games against Hungary and Algeria, travelled with Newcastle for last weekend’s match at Arsenal.

However, he was withdrawn shortly before kick-off after requiring a scan on the morning of the game.

Manager Eddie Howe described the scan results as “nothing major,” but Isak has been monitored throughout the week.

Howe is expected to give a fitness update during his press conference on Friday at Benton.

When asked by NUFC TV if Isak had a chance to play, Howe replied, “Of course he will have a chance.” If Isak is unavailable, Callum Wilson is likely to start again after leading the line against Arsenal in the 1-0 defeat.

There has also been discussion among fans about William Osula’s limited involvement. Despite fan interest, Howe remains focused on training performances when selecting his team and does not let outside opinion influence his choices.

Another key decision for Howe is whether to maintain the 3-4-2-1 formation used at Arsenal or revert to the more familiar 4-3-3 system, which he has employed in 34 Premier League matches this season.

Everton, meanwhile, arrive at St. James’ Park with little at stake. The Toffees are assured of a 13th-place finish, regardless of results on the final day of the Premier League season.

With pride the only thing left to play for, their trip north concludes a campaign of mixed fortunes.
