Newcastle United vs. Wolves team news: Do Alexander Isak, Matheus Cunha return for Premier League game?

Do Isak, Cunha return for Newcastle, Wolves Premier League game?

Newcastle United are able to recall Alexander Isak for Wednesday's Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

As expected, the in-form striker was rested for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Bromley courtesy of a hamstring issue picked up in the preceding game against Arsenal in the EFL Cup.

However, Eddie Howe is in a position where he can recall the Sweden international and select 10 of the players that prevailed at the Emirates Stadium.

The one change to that side is Bruno Guimaraes, who was suspended for that fixture, with Joe Willock to take his spot among the replacements.

Despite their goals against Bromley, the likes of Lewis Miley and William Osula - as expected - are only selected among the replacements.

Cunha returns to squad

Meanwhile, Matheus Cunha has been named in the Wolves squad having served a two-match suspension for improper conduct.

Nevertheless, having been dealing with a hamstring issue of his own, the Brazilian star is only selected among the replacements.

Vitor Pereira makes just the one change from the win over Bristol City in the FA Cup, recalling goalkeeper Jose Sa in place of Sam Johnstone.

Nelson Semedo and Craig Dawson have been selected among the replacements having overcome minor injury issues.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Livramento, Botman, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Subs: Vlachodimos, Trippier, Krafth, Osula, Almiron, Kelly, Willock, Longstaff, Miley

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa; Doherty, Bueno, Agbadou; R. Gomes, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Guedes, Hwang; Strand Larsen

Subs: Johnstone, Cunha, Dawson, Doyle, Sarabia, Semedo, Forbs, Bellegarde, Lima
