Alexander Isak injury could mean Anthony Gordon continuing as Newcastle striker

Anthony Gordon could be set for an extended spell as an emergency striker with Newcastle team-mate Alexander Isak facing the prospect of being sidelined until after the international break.

The 23-year-old England winger started in a central role against Manchester City on Saturday in Isak’s absence with a fractured toe, winning and converting the penalty which handed the Magpies a creditable 1-1 Premier League draw.

Isak suffered the break during the club’s 2-1 win at Wolves on September 15 and played at Fulham six days later having had a pain-killing injection, which proved to be only partially successful.

Eddie Howe on his attacking options:"We are light in the centre forward area. I thought Anthony [Gordon] did very well on Saturday with his commitment and endeavour to the role.
