Newcastle United’s season hasn’t been easy.

They’ve battled injuries, suspensions, and inconsistent form.

But with a cup final on the horizon, the focus has been on getting their best players ready.

Fans know how important this moment is.

Newcastle haven’t won a major trophy in decades.

The Carabao Cup final is a massive chance to change that.

Facing Liverpool is never easy, but Eddie Howe needs his strongest squad available.

That’s why what happened in their FA Cup tie against Brighton will worry Newcastle supporters.

Something happened that could affect their chances at Wembley.

Newcastle United suffer Alexander Isak injury scare

And now, there’s real concern about Alexander Isak.

The Swedish striker limped off, and Newcastle fans will be hoping it’s nothing serious.

Adding to their problems, they’ve already lost Anthony Gordon for the final.

The Englishman was sent off in the 83rd minute after hitting a Brighton defender on the head.

That red card means he will MISS the Carabao Cup final.

With Gordon out, Newcastle need Isak more than ever.

But now, his fitness is in question.

Liverpool fans will be watching closely.

If Isak is sidelined, Newcastle’s attack takes a major hit.

And in a final against Arne Slot’s side, that could make all the difference.
