Alexandr Isak Excluded from Newcastle Squad

  • Alexandr Isak will miss the start of the Premier League season.
  • Newcastle has no intention of selling Isak despite proposals.
  • The situation with Isak has caused destructive tensions within the team.

The head coach of Newcastle, Eddie Howe, confirmed that the forward Alexandr Isak will not participate in the team's matches due to his desire to leave the club. After negotiations with Isak, Howe indicated that it is currently impossible to involve the player in training with the first team.

Isak did not travel with Newcastle for the preseason tour to Southeast Asia, as the club confirmed that he has a minor injury. Although he is now physically fit, his participation in matches remains in question.

Liverpool has declined the previously proposed offer of £110 million for Isak, who is the club's top scorer with 27 goals in all competitions last season. Newcastle values the player at £150 million and has no intention of selling him, regardless of the situation.

Howe noted that the situation with Isak has become a disruptive factor for the team, but he hopes that the player will return to training once conditions are appropriate. As of now, Newcastle is preparing to start the season in the Premier League, while Isak continues to train separately.
