05 On May 19, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Newcastle 1-0 at home, and Newcastle striker Isak was absent due to injury. The Times wrote an article analyzing Isaac's importance to Newcastle and his future.

Isaac was absent from this game due to a recurrence of groin injury, and the injury that had troubled him for several months relapsed. After losing at the Emirates Stadium, Eddie Howe's team's team's record was updated to four games and three losses, zero goals this season.

In the previous three Premier League games without Isaac this season, Newcastle lost and tied with zero goals in sports. After the critical battle in North London ended on Sunday afternoon, the record further deteriorated: four games and three losses, but still no results were achieved.

If Isaac is present, at least one of the many opportunities Newcastle created in the first half will likely translate into a goal. He has scored 27 goals this season and has scored 6 goals in the past 11 games. His performance always goes to the next level when facing Arsenal who has been chasing him for 18 months.

's victory against Everton is related to the fiscal transfusion brought by the Champions League qualification, so it is imperative to restore Isaac's health, but Eddie Howe could not provide a guarantee.

Newcastle is in a dilemma: Champions League qualification is crucial to fiscal development next season and is also the key to retaining this top European center. Isaac is eager to play for the Champions League team, and Newcastle is not such a team at the moment. To retain him, he needs to get at least a seat in the Champions League; to get a seat, he needs to return from injury next week.
