Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, confirmed he cannot include Alexander Isak in the squad due to issues surrounding his potential transfer and his request to leave. The striker missed pre-season matches due to a minor thigh injury but is wanted by clubs like Liverpool. Newcastle reportedly turned down a £110 million bid, valuing Isak at £150 million. Howe emphasized Isak needs to earn his place in the team, while stating that there have been discussions about his future and confirming he does have a future at the club.
"We've had discussions, and it's clear at the moment we can't have him involved with the group. I don't know how long that will be for."
"There have been discussions since the tour. I don't think disciplinary action has happened. He is here, so, of course, he has a future at Newcastle."
