"I have said many times that I don't really think too much about my future. I have said many times I am happy here and we are competing for titles, which is what you want as a football player. We have been to one final and now we are in another one.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has spoken out about his injury ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon was also shown a straight red card in the FA Cup defeat to Brighton, ruling him out of the Carabao Cup final.

Head Coach Fabian Hurzeler said that despite wanting him back, Sunday was too soon for the return of their captain. Experienced defender Joel Veltman remains in doubt due to a foot injury - while questions remain over the fitness of defensive duo Tariq Lamptey and Adam Webster.

It’s been a difficult few days for the Toon, with a foot injury ruling Lewis Hall out for the remainder of the season and Anthony Gordon set to miss the side’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool through suspension. Howe will also be without Sven Botman for the foreseeable future as the Dutch central defender requires surgery on his knee.

Newcastle United star Alexander Isak has declared himself “fully fit” for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
