Sources on Tyneside spot Alexander Isak change after £60m man resumes training - The Telegraph

The Telegraph have confirmed that Alexander Isak is back in first-team training and in contention to feature in Saturday's FA Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday.

The same piece also shares what 'training ground sources' have been saying about the Swede's performances at our Benton base, revealing that he's looking better than ever after regaining 'full speed and mobility' in sessions.

It's thought he arrived on from Real Sociedad with a 'slight injury' that he didn't disclose, as he was 'desperate' to make an immediate impression, meaning Eddie Howe and his Toon teammates are now seeing the real Alexander Isak.

If he can tear apart Liverpool and score twice in his opening three games when half-fit, the prospect of having the Swede back at 100% is an extremely exciting one!

He's not expected to feature at Arsenal tonight and will be eased back into our Premier League programme, but The Telegraph report that he's likely to be involved for the first time since September after coming through full contact training sessions with flying colours.

Here's the exciting snippet from Luke Edwards' piece on the fit-again striker:

'Training ground sources have told Telegraph Sport that he has looked better than at any stage since his arrival from Real Sociedad for £60m in August, with full speed and mobility on the grass showing teammates exactly why the club paid so much for him in the summer.

'There is a suspicion Isak arrived on Tyneside with a slight injury and did not admit it as he was desperate to make an immediate impact at his new club.'
