Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has opened up about the club's ambitious plans for rising stars Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon, as the Magpies prepare for their upcoming Premier League showdown with Liverpool.
Speaking ahead of the match, Howe emphasised the importance of carefully managing the development of both players, who have shown immense potential this season. "We have high hopes for Alexander and Anthony," Howe stated. "They are key parts of our long-term vision, but we must be patient and strategic in how we bring out their best."
Injury Concerns Loom for Newcastle
Howe also addressed the growing injury list at St James' Park, with several key players sidelined. "It's a challenging period," he admitted, "but we have depth in the squad, and every player is ready to step up when called upon."
The Newcastle boss confirmed that Isak, who has been in scintillating form, is fit and ready to feature against Liverpool. Meanwhile, Gordon's progress is being closely monitored after a recent knock.
Liverpool Test Ahead
With Liverpool visiting Tyneside, Howe acknowledged the difficulty of the task but remained optimistic. "Liverpool are a top side, but we relish these challenges. Our fans will be behind us, and we'll give everything."
Newcastle's recent performances have hinted at their potential, and Howe is determined to build momentum as the season progresses. The clash with Liverpool could be a defining moment in their campaign.
