Eddie Howe has named two changes to his Newcastle United starting XI for this evening’s Premier League clash against West Ham United (kick-off 8pm).
With this the Magpies’ second fixture in just four days, Howe has opted to rotate his line-up - handing a recall to Joelinton and Callum Wilson.
Joelinton starts for the first time since serving his three-match suspension, while Wilson is named ahead of Isak. The United No.9 scored in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Manchester United after coming on as a substitute.
“It’s important for Calllum that he scores,” Howe said. “I saw Callum during the international break but in a really good shift to get himself back to his best condition. I had no hesitation in backing him and knowing the goals will come because he’s got that experience.
“His goal is a typical Callum goal - really good movement in the box, got a yard of space and finished it well.”
