It's okay for him. He has not trained with us (the team) yet, but has made progress during the week. The next few days will be crucial for whether he is available for play on Sunday, says Newcastle coach Eddie Howe.
Last weekend, Isak missed the away match against Arsenal (0–1). With his 23 goals this season, the 25-year-old is second in the top scorer list after Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (28 goals).
The already crowned champion Liverpool (83 points) and second-place Arsenal (71) have secured two of Premier League's five Champions League spots for next season. Third-place Manchester City has 68 points, and behind them is a trio with 66 points – Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. Seventh-place Nottingham has 65 points.
Sunday's matches for the teams fighting for CL play: Newcastle–Everton, Fulham–Manchester City, Nottingham–Chelsea, Manchester United–Aston Villa.
