Newcastle United handed major £108m injury boost v Crystal Palace as key duo arrive at St James’ Park

Newcastle United have been handed a double injury boost ahead of this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace (kick-off 3pm).

Alexander Isak was a major doubt after head coach Eddie Howe revealed at Friday’s press conference that the Swede hadn’t trained having withdrawn from international duty.

But as captured by NewcastleWorld, Isak has arrived at St James’ Park and is set to feature in the matchday squad with Callum Wilson leading the attack.

Another player to arrive at St James’ Park is Joelinton.

The Brazilian had missed the previous two games versus Paris Saint-Germain and West Ham United because of the hamstring injury he sustained less than five minutes after coming on as a substitute at home to Burnley.

Speaking at Friday’s press conference, head coach Howe said admitted he was “confident” Joelinton would be involved for the visit of Palace.

And his return has now been confirmed. Indeed, the 27-year-old himself after he uploaded a personalised matchday graphic to his Instagram story this morning.
