Opponent Watch: Newcastle United to be without Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin against Tottenham Hotspur

Newcastle United could be without Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin against Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday.

The duo are set to miss the Magpies’ game against Everton this Wednesday (h/t Liverpool Echo). And while Isak is sure to miss, Saint-Maximin is also looking very likely to follow suit.

Such news will come as a major boost to Antonio Conte and Spurs. But they have a task at hand before that as they take on Manchester United this Wednesday.

Isak was signed for £60 million by the Magpies this summer. The striker got off to a good start, scoring two goals in three games for his new side.

However, a hamstring injury has forced him to the sidelines and he is now likely to return after the World Cup next month. As for Saint-Maximin, the Frenchman has minor irritations to his hamstring injury and will miss the game against Everton.

The 25-year-old is known to be a nuisance on the wings and his potentially missing the game against Spurs will be good news for us.

As for Spurs, fans will hope for a win this Wednesday and then on Sunday. Both United and Newcastle are tricky opponents to play against, and wins against both of them will help Conte in the long run.
