Current Arsenal rumours and news: A Newcastle player could miss the Premier League match against the Gunners later this month due to a potential yellow card punishment.
When Newcastle United plays Arsenal later this month, key player Alexander Isak might not be available.
The Gunners’ victory over Liverpool on Sunday gave them a significant boost in their Premier League title aspirations.
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard gave Arsenal a 3-1 victory, cutting the advantage over the top to just two points.
The team led by Mikel Arteta will now get ready for their next two league games, which are back-to-back away games. Arsenal’s next match is away to West Ham on Sunday. Then, the following week, they travel to Burnley.
The next day, February 24, Arsenal will welcome Newcastle at the Emirates Stadium following a Champions League first-leg match against Porto. And depending on what transpires in the team’s next two games, the Magpies might not have Alexander available for that match.
As of right now, Alexander has nine yellow cards for the Premier League. If he receives one more in the games that remain until Newcastle’s season-opening match against Fulham on April 6, he will be suspended for two games.
