Although Newcastle will be without Hall, Botman and Gordon, Howe confirmed that Alexander Isak is raring to go despite being substituted off towards the end of the Brighton match.

Eddie Howe says Alexander Isak has ‘trained every day this week’ and is ‘fine’ to play in Newcastle United’s clash with West Ham on Monday night. Isak was spotted with heavy strapping below his right knee in training during the week – but that has been the case for much of the season.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has dismissed injury fears surrounding Alexander Isak ahead of their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool. However, the English tactician has confirmed that defender Sven Botman will be out for a period of time.
