The Premier League returns to St James’ Park this weekend when Newcastle United face Luton Town. Newcastle’s impressive 3-1 win at Villa Park will give them confidence heading into the weekend’s game, although their visitors also scored an equally impressive 4-0 win against Brighton.
The Hatters also defeated Newcastle in the reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road where a strike from former Magpie Andros Townsend was enough to secure a 1-0 win for Rob Edwards’ side. Eddie Howe, meanwhile, could welcome back a couple of players this weekend but will likely be without Alexander Isak after he picked up an injury in midweek.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of Newcastle United’s clash with Luton Town:
9. Joe Willock - out
Willock reaggravated an achilles injury and has missed every game since the November international break. There is hope he can return to action soon and the former Arsenal man teased his potential return on social media last week, however, that won’t come at St James’ Park. | Getty Images
