Eddie Howe revealed that Alexander Isak, who sustained a toe injury, has not trained normally ahead of the crucial match against Manchester City, creating uncertainty.
Howe mentioned that Isak had previously received a painkilling injection to manage his toe pain for the Fulham game, but his condition worsened post-match.
With ongoing fitness issues affecting other key players like Sven Botman and Callum Wilson, Isak's injury compounds Newcastle's challenges in their quest for European qualification.
Isak's absence would be a significant blow for Newcastle, who are already dealing with multiple injuries as they seek to compete against reigning champions Manchester City.
