Newcastle XI vs Brighton: Isak FPL injury latest, confirmed team news and predicted lineup for Premier League

Newcastle look set 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 confirmed the 25-year-old has trained this week and is in contention for the game.

Kieran Trippier, however, is out and adds to Howe’s mounting injury list at St James’ Park.
