Alexander Isak update ahead of Everton as £67m Newcastle United duo a doubt vs AFC Wimbledon

Trippier and Tonali both came off with cramp in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Saturday. Trippier was making only his second Premier League start of the campaign while Tonali made his first league start for almost 12 months.

"We will wait and see how Kieran [Trippier] is, he felt okay yesterday but we are not sure if he will be ready for tomorrow,” said Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe. 2Sandro [Tonali] came off with cramp, he is a player we will make a decision on later today."

Meanwhile, Howe has confirmed Alexander Isak will miss the Wimbledon clash.

The Sweden international has been struggling with a broken toe and required an injection to play against Fulham. However, the injury has continued to cause pain, meaning Isak didn’t train in the build-up to Man City.

The decision was taken to leave Isak out of the squad. He won’t feature against the League Two side and is a major doubt for the weekend’s league trip to Everton.

That could see summer signing Will Osula lead the line with Anthony Gordon likely to be rested.

“Of course, we're light in the centre forward area,” said Howe. “I thought Anthony [Gordon] did really well on Saturday. I was really pleased with his commitment to the role. His endeavour to pressing I thought was incredible.

“And I think that gave us a really good route into the game in terms of our press and our intensity - going back to the level that it has been historically.

“We really like Will [Osula]. I think he's settled in really well. He's training well behind the scenes, we're developing his game in lots of different areas. So yeah, I'll have to make a decision on the team.”
