Newcastle’s Swedish Sensation Ready for Liverpool…
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Alexander Isak, Newcastle’s goal-scoring superhero, poised to swoop into the Carabao Cup final and give Liverpool a serious case of the heebie-jeebies. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s mastermind, whispers exciting rumors of Isak’s return, describing him as “very motivated” to give Liverpool a run for their trophies!
You might remember Isak’s last Wembley escapade — well, it didn’t turn out like a fairytale, but this time, the Swede is all set to rewrite the script. With 19 goals under his belt this season (yes, he counts them all), he’s been nursing some muscle drama recently, but anticipates his comeback against West Ham United like a knight readying for battle. If he successfully dodges the injury trolls, Howe believes Isak will be sassy and dangerous enough to face Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s squad might be eyeballing crutches and band-aids. With Anthony Gordon sitting out due to his little red card tango, Howe needs Isak’s magical boots more than ever. Known for their obsessive appetite for goals, Isak and Callum Wilson are Newcastle’s dynamic duo. Howe, playing the role of a calm uncle in the chaos, told us to just ‘relax’ as he crosses his fingers thrice before each game. Wembley, get ready for some Swedish spice!
