Eddie Howe is adopting a cautious approach regarding the fitness of Alexander Isak, Kieran Trippier, and Anthony Gordon as Newcastle prepares for their match against Leicester. Both Isak and Trippier were substituted during a recent victory, while Gordon missed the last game due to an injury sustained while on international duty. Howe mentioned ongoing evaluations of their conditions and expressed concerns over maintaining squad performance amid a congested fixture schedule as Newcastle seeks to solidify their Premier League position and Champions League aspirations.
"Wait and see today, really. Of course, I had medical updates yesterday but I will see them for the first time today. Hopefully they are feeling okay."
"He hasn't yet [returned to full training]. Another one we're monitoring. We think he's still recovering from a really bad knock he got for England."
"We don’t think we have any big injuries from Wednesday night, but we have a few niggles. We are monitoring Anthony [Gordon]."
"Yeah, especially with the number of games we have got in a short period of time. That will be a testing period for us."
