Eddie Howe now drops Harvey Barnes hint and Alexander Isak in frame for November return

The Newcastle United manager assumed Harvey Barnes would be sidelined until January, but he has made fantastic progress since suffering a foot injury. Harvey Barnes, who is recovering from a foot injury at Newcastle United, may not be “too far away” from a comeback after the international break.

The summer acquisition from Leicester City has not played since injuring his toe in the 8-0 triumph over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. However, Eddie Howe is sure that there is light at the end of the tunnel for the forward, who he could need right now due to an injury crisis. “He’ll probably be one of the players who returns after the international break.” He won’t be ready when we go back, but hopefully not too far away.”

Newcastle’s chances of re-signing Alexander Isak after the international break are also improving, with the Sweden midfielder nearing a return from a groin injury. Isak took part in light training ahead of the Borussia Dortmund defeat, while Barnes has returned to the field.

Barnes got his Toon career off to a flying start with a well-taken goal against Aston Villa in a 5-1 triumph. In the aftermath of Sandro Tonali’s suspension, Newcastle want one of their marquee players back on the field by summer 2023.
