Alexander Isak is set to miss Newcastle United’s next five matches after suffering a groin injury in the Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Swedish striker hobbled off for United after just 15 minutes in what was a double injury blow for the club after Jacob Murphy dislocated his shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His injury could mean that he misses Newcastle’s fixtures against Man United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
The problem is not thought to be too serious, but it is still a blow for the Magpies to have lost their key striker before some huge games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Asked about Isak’s injury after Wedensday night, manager Eddie Howe said: ‘That was a blow for us, and Jacob coming off as well which looks like a serious injury.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have been dealt a major blow after Alexander Isak was forced off with an injury<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Murphy looked in considerable pain as he clutched onto his shoulder before he was taken off<\/p>\n
‘We have a small squad as it is but with so many games to come that’s the big disappointment of the night.<\/p>\n
‘(Isak) looks a reoccurring of the groin injury and Jacob Murphy it looks more serious, a dislocation of his shoulder which isn’t a good thing.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isak has scored seven goals in just 11 games in all competitions, meaning he has netted 17 times in 38 appearances for Newcastle since joining last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After arriving from Real Sociedad as the club’s record signing for \u00a360m, Isak scored twice in his first three games before he picked up a serious thigh injury.<\/p>\n
This kept the 24-year-old out of action for almost four months before he was fully fit for the rest of the campaign as the Magpies qualified for the Champions League.<\/p>\n
In total, he scored 10 goals in 27 appearances last season as he dovetailed nicely in attack with Wilson.<\/p>\n
