Newcastle gives update on Alexander Isak's injury before Luton Town game.

After suffering a groin injury during Newcastle's recent match against Aston Villa, top scorer Alexander Isak has been working hard to recover and return to the field. The team is hopeful that he will be ready to play in their upcoming Premier League game against Luton on Saturday.

According to assistant manager Jason Tindall, Isak has shown improvements this week and may have a chance to play in Saturday's game at St. James' Park. The 24-year-old forward left the match against Aston Villa before halftime, but the team is hopeful that he will be back in action soon.

Isak has been a key player for Newcastle this season, scoring a total of 14 goals, including 10 in the Premier League. His return would be a major boost for the team, especially with veteran striker Callum Wilson also facing injury concerns. Wilson has been out of action since late December due to a calf injury, but has been making progress towards a return.

Newcastle, who did not make any senior-level transfers during the January window, is also currently without midfielder Joelinton who is recovering from thigh surgery. Despite these challenges, the team is determined to continue their success and improve their standing in the league.

Their upcoming match against Luton is particularly important, as the team suffered a 1-0 loss to them back in December, which led to a four-game losing streak. However, Newcastle recently ended Aston Villa's long unbeaten home record and are feeling confident going into Saturday's game.

Manager Eddie Howe, who was absent due to illness, is expected to be back for Saturday's match. Tindall praised the team's recent performances, saying that their win against Aston Villa was "really important" and has given them a boost of confidence. With more time on the training pitch and a positive mood within the team, Newcastle is determined to continue their recent success and build on it.
