Newcastle United won against Brentford, but concerns arise over Alexander Isak's injury.
April 3rd 2025.
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, has confirmed that star player Alexander Isak was forced to leave the match against Brentford due to a groin injury. Isak, who had opened the scoring for Newcastle in the first half, was replaced in the 66th minute by Bryan Mbuemo after suffering from discomfort in his groin.
Despite Isak's early goal, Brentford managed to equalize through a penalty kick from Bryan Mbuemo. However, Newcastle secured the win with a goal from Sandro Tonali, placing them in fifth position in the Premier League, just one point behind Manchester City in fourth.
Isak, who has been in top form this season with 20 Premier League goals, is now facing a struggle with a groin issue ahead of Newcastle's next match against Leicester City on Monday. In a post-match interview, Howe stated, "Your ability to score goals is what defines you in this league, and our attacking players have to take responsibility for that."
He also praised Isak's consistency and ability to be in the right place at the right time, despite not having his best performance in this particular match. Howe went on to mention Isak's withdrawal from the game, saying, "We hope it's nothing too serious, but he just wasn't feeling 100 percent in his groin. He was just a little unsure in his movement, so that's why we withdrew him."
In addition to Isak, Newcastle is also facing concerns with another key player, Kieran Trippier, who was substituted late in the game due to a groin complaint. Howe expressed his hopes that it is nothing serious, as the team already has a small squad and cannot afford any more injuries.
