Alexander Isak's availability for Newcastle United's decisive clash with Everton remains uncertain, but there is cautious optimism after a key development this week.The Swedish striker was a surprise absentee in Newcastle's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal last Sunday.

Newcastle United are sweating on the fitness of top scorer Alexander Isak ahead of Sunday’s Premier League finale against Everton (4pm kick-off).

Callum Wilson, who has endured a rotten run of injuries himself, led the line for the visitors at the Emirates. In stark contrast to Newcastle’s misfortune, Arsenal were able to welcome Kai Havertz back to his first matchday squad since suffering a severe hamstring injury in January.
