Newcastle United could be without striker Alexander Isak for Saturday's Premier League match at Fulham.

The 24-year-old Sweden international sustained eye and foot injuries in Newcastle's 2-1 win over Wolves last weekend.

Fellow striker Callum Wilson is expected to be out until the next international break, in October.

Anthony Gordon could deputise for Isak in a central role if required, while summer signing William Osula is yet to make his debut.

Asked about Isak's condition on Friday, manager Eddie Howe said: "Good question. I'll find out more today.

"It was a strange one with his eye. The ball just grazed his eye and we felt at that time that was the main reason for him coming off the pitch.

"Then he had a knock to his foot as well, so he's got a combination of the two.

"We'll make a decision today."

Newcastle are unbeaten in their opening four league games and sit third in the early standings after picking up their third victory last Sunday.

Howe's side can go top of the Premier League table with victory over Fulham before Manchester City and Arsenal, the two clubs above them, go head-to-head on Sunday.
