Newcastle will be without Alexander Isak once again when they take on Liverpool on Monday, but Joe Willock could return to the side.

The Magpies host the defending Premier League champions at St James’ Park on Monday night in a match that will be dominated by the Isak narrative.

The midfielder was stretchered off during a pre-season match in South Korea at the end of July, sparking concerns he could be sidelined for some time.

But Willock surprised Newcastle fans by featuring in training this week and Howe said he could feature on Monday.

“Joe trained on Tuesday and Wednesday,” Howe said.

Credit to him, he's got back fit and looking good.”

Newcastle drew a blank against 10-man Aston Villa in their opening Premier League match of the season last weekend, with Isak’s absence keenly felt.

He is in line to make his debut against Liverpool and the midfielder’s attacking instincts could be useful.

“He’ll be available,” Howe said.

Anthony Gordon was handed the role of deputising for Isak against Villa, with Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga on the flanks.

"He’s done it enough to do the job really well for the team,” Howe said of Gordon.
