Alexander Isak expected to play in Carabao Cup final against Liverpool

Newcastle United is gearing up for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on March 16, with fans concerned about the fitness of star striker Alexander Isak. Initially, there were worries about Isak's availability after he limped off during an FA Cup match against Brighton, but encouraging updates have emerged from media duties indicating he is fit to play. Newcastle will be without Anthony Gordon, who is suspended after receiving a red card, and Lewis Hall, who is out for the season due to injury. Isak has previously performed well against Liverpool, scoring three goals in five encounters, which adds optimism for Newcastle's chances. Coach Eddie Howe has stated that Isak's earlier withdrawal was due to fatigue rather than injury, alleviating some concerns for fans. As Newcastle seeks to end their trophy drought, Isak's presence will be crucial against a strong Liverpool side.
