Newcastle's strikers, Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, are in a race against time to recover ahead of Wednesday night’s crucial Premier League showdown with Manchester United.
Currently sixth in the table, Newcastle seeks to secure their position and edge closer to another season of European football.
However, both Isak and Wilson missed Saturday’s match against Brighton due to illness, and neither participated in Monday's training session.
Head coach Eddie Howe provided updates on their conditions during Tuesday's press conference, expressing hope for their availability.
Isak's recent dip in form was attributed to his illness, while Wilson's injury struggles have been a recurring theme throughout the season.
Despite the potential setbacks, Howe emphasized the importance of squad depth and contingency plans, especially considering the financial implications of acquiring Premier League-quality strikers.
In the meantime, the focus remains on the upcoming challenge of facing Manchester United, a task Howe acknowledges as formidable despite their opponent's recent struggles.
Looking ahead, Newcastle has also confirmed their pre-season plans, which include matches against Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama F. Marinos in Japan.
