Newcastle's Alexander Isak will miss Saturday's meeting with Manchester City in the Premier League.

The Swedish national team striker is not included in the match squad.

As early as Friday, Newcastle announced that Isak had broken a toe and was uncertain.

It sounds worse than it is, it's a broken toe, but it's under control and it's possible to play with if he can endure the pain. There are no risks for the future, said Newcastle's coach Eddie Howe on Friday.

The question is also how the toe injury affects play in the national team. On Wednesday, national team coach Jon Dahl Tomasson will present his squad for the Nations League matches against Slovakia and Estonia in October.
