Isak’s return to form and fitness comes at a good time for the Magpies who have struggled in-front of goal this season, whilst it has also earned him a call-up to the Sweden squad for their upcoming Nations League games. Isak missed Sweden’s last two matches after being sidelined with a broken toe but has been included, alongside Emil Krafth, by Jon Dahl Tomasson for their matches against Slovakia and Azerbaijan in the upcoming international break.
However, Isak’s inclusion in the squad means Tomasson faces a big call on who to leave out, with Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga having been cut from the squad. Elanga was linked with a move to Newcastle United during the summer but is yet to score in 11 appearances for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side this season.
