Newcastle United's leading scorer Alexander Isak will sit out Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash with fourth-tier side Bromley after the Sweden striker was injured during Tuesday's 2-0 League Cup win over Arsenal,

Arsenal are unlikely to be able to afford the record-breaking transfer fee required to sign Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, according to reports. The Sweden international has been coveted by the Gunners in the past with interest dating back to his time at Real Sociedad.

Arteta regularly eulogises over Anfield and St James’ Park, the ‘jungles’ and ‘washing machine’-like atmospheres he revels in. He has spoken of wanting to write the first chapters of defining nights at the Emirates, but the fever that had been building the past two years has faded this season and Tuesday saw some fans leave early.

Newcastle United have received some reassuring news regarding Alexander Isak's hamstring injury, confirming it's not serious, although he will be absent for this weekend's FA Cup clash with Bromley. Isak was substituted in the last 25 minutes of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Arsenal, causing concern among the Newcastle staff.

Isak was taken off with 25 minutes to go during the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Arsenal, sparking an injury scare for backroom staff. But he has since been assessed and after being handed a couple of days rest, it has been decided he will miss Newcastle's tie against the League Two outfit.

Alexander Isak is expected to be available for Newcastle United’s next Premier League game, despite his injury scare.

Arsenal’s hopes of signing Alexander Isak have been dealt a blow despite Newcastle seemingly needing to offload players this month. Isak enhanced his already growing reputation this week by scoring at the Emirates on Tuesday, as the Magpies secured a 2-0 first leg lead in their Carabao Cup semi-final.
