A European spot is up for grabs.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has given a worrying injury update for Magpies fans ahead of their crucial Premier League game against Manchester United.

Newcastle travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening, with both sides hunting the final European spot in the Premier League table.

The Magpies start the day three points better off than Erik ten Hag's side, who are two places behind in eighth.

With just over 24 hours until the match, Howe has revealed that strikers Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson are both doubts for the game.

Speaking to BBC Sport at the pre-match press conference, Howe said: "Alexander [Isak] didn’t train yesterday, we will see if he trains today. He wasn’t feeling 100%, I think you could see that. 

"We knew on Friday that he was slightly under the weather.

"We also haven’t seen Callum [Wilson] yet, we will see if he is available to train today, if not we will have him for Brentford."
