Alexander Isak Declared Fit for Liverpool Match

Newcastle United's forward Alexander Isak has confirmed he is fit to play in the upcoming match against Liverpool after recovering from a hip injury sustained during a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. Initially, manager Eddie Howe expressed concerns about Isak's availability, noting the injury was impact-related rather than muscular, which is seen as a positive sign for his recovery. Isak himself reassured fans by stating, 'I am fine,' emphasizing his readiness for the game. Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, will face Newcastle without key defenders Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley, and they may miss goalkeeper Alisson Becker due to a hamstring injury. The match at St James' Park is crucial for both teams as Newcastle aims to improve their form amid injury struggles, while Liverpool seeks to maintain their lead at the top of the table. Howe's frustration over injuries, particularly Isak's, reflects the challenges Newcastle faces as they look to regain confidence this December.
