Isak has scored 27 goals for Newcastle this season in all competitions but missed the match at the Emirates Stadium following a scan on a groin issue felt after training ahead of the match.It was the fourth Premier League match the Swede had missed for Newcastle this season.

Callum Wilson, who has endured a rotten run of injuries himself, led the line for the visitors at the Emirates. In stark contrast to Newcastle’s misfortune, Arsenal were able to welcome Kai Havertz back to his first matchday squad since suffering a severe hamstring injury in January.

Newcastle United could be without Alexander Isak for their final Premier League game of the season against Everton. Isak is understood to have travelled to London on Saturday night ahead of facing Arsenal but was left out of the matchday squad after experiencing some discomfort in his groin.
