Eddie Howe: Isaac s injury is not clear yet, he didn t feel any discomfort during training

May 19th According to the BBC, Eddie Howe was interviewed by reporters after Newcastle lost to Arsenal 0-1.

Speaking of the game, Eddie Howe said: "We performed very well, except for the final mistakes. We created a lot of opportunities, and the overall performance was strong, we were very competitive in the game, and the ball was good. We were very satisfied with the performance most of the first half, but we became a little passive in the second half. Soon we found this, and the opponent took the opportunity to score, which was frustrating.

"When you play away, you sometimes lose control, the audience will get into the atmosphere of the game, and your previous solid defense may become unstable. We have done a good job in this area lately and feel like we can survive this time, but Rice's wonderful shot broke our defense. It's a sense of stress, not how many opportunities they create. If we could have withstood the pressure, we could have made a difference, but we did not.

"This is one of our strongest away games, but we have to score goals, and we don't. It can only be blamed on ourselves, and some wonderful saves from the opponent's goalkeeper. Some players perform well, we will bring these to next week's game."

"We hope our destiny is in our hands. We have confidence at home and under pressure, but there will be a lot of preparations before the game, and we have to pull it out. Today's performance is great, we have to bring that confidence into next week's game."

In addition, Eddie Howe also talked about Isaac's injury, saying: "It's not clear yet. It's too early to make an assessment, I think he has a chance, but the specific situation is not sure. He felt a little stiff last night, but he didn't feel any discomfort in training. The scan this morning showed some swelling, so we let him out of the game, hoping he's ready next week."
