Newcastle handed major boost as key duo near return from injury

Newcastle United are set to be handed a double boost with the imminent return of strikers Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson from injury. 

Isak has been sidelined with a broken toe in recent weeks, while Wilson has been recovering from a back injury since the summer, causing him to miss the entire start of the season.

The Magpies were held to a goalless draw by Everton on Saturday and have only scored twice in their last three Premier League matches. But Eddie Howe says the pair may return the week after the international break to help ease their woes in front of goal.

“We hope so,” the Newcastle boss told BBC Match of the Day after the final whistle at Goodison Park.
