Newcastle United handed £91m injury boost ahead of Arsenal clash with training ground update

Newcastle United are likely to be handed a triple injury boost ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Arsenal (8pm kick-off).

Defender Fabian Schar is set to keep his place in the side despite walking off after the 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth last weekend clutching his arm. Schar has trained as usual ahead of the trip to the Emirates Stadium while Alexander Isak and Joe Willock are back in training following their respective injuries.

Isak suffered a recurrence of a groin issue in a 3-1 win at Aston Villa last month while Willock hasn't been seen in three months due to an Achilles injury.

Providing an update ahead of the trip to Arsenal, Howe said: "They've trained this week, good to see them back on the grass.

"A long time for Joe but he's a huge player for us and great to see him back amongst the group, a really popular member of the squad."

When asked if the duo would be available to feature against Arsenal, Howe gave a typically coy response.

"We'll have to wait and see but we're pleased with their progress.

"I can't say yes to [being through the worst of the injury situation] for obvious reasons. We hope we've got a stronger squad from where we were a few weeks ago."

The Magpies head to Arsenal looking to pick up their first win at the Emirates Stadium since 2010. Howe's side have won each of their last four away wins in all competitions and are four unbeaten in the Premier League.
