Both an eye injury and a blow to the foot.

Double injuries may stop Newcastle's Swedish star striker Alexander Isak ahead of Saturday's Premier League meeting with Fulham away.

Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe reported on Isak's injury status on Friday morning ahead of the team's training.

It was in last weekend's win over Wolverhampton that Isak was substituted after getting a ball in the face.

It was a weird thing with his eye, the ball scraped his eye. We felt right then that it was the reason he broke the match. But then he also got a blow to his foot, so it's a combination of injuries. We'll make a decision today, says Howe according to The Standard.

Newcastle has already had Alexander Isak's attacking colleague Callum Wilson out due to back problems. Wilson has not played any matches so far during the season's start.
