"He sealed a transfer deadline day move to Liverpool last week after issuing a public statement disclosing his wish to leave Newcastle due to what he perceived as broken promises by the club's hierarchy. Isak consequently deemed the relationship irreparable and pushed for his Anfield move. During the September international break, Isak did not start either of Sweden's matches versus Kosovo or Slovenia and did not get off the bench for Jon Dahl Tomasson's side during their 2-2 draw with the latter."
"Isak has not played a match, competitive or otherwise since May, missing out on Newcastle United's pre-season schedule after choosing not to travel with the team to the Far East where the club's tour took place. The 25-year-old instead trained alone, including for a period of time at Real Sociedad's 'Zubieta' base, whilst still a Newcastle player. Isak then trained separately to the rest of his Magpies teammates amid speculation surrounding his future,"
Alexander Isak is unlikely to start for Liverpool before the Merseyside derby with Everton after limited minutes during the international break. Isak has not played since May and missed Newcastle United's pre-season after choosing not to travel to the Far East for the club's tour. The 25-year-old trained alone, including time at Real Sociedad's 'Zubieta' base, and then trained separately from his Magpies teammates, playing no part in domestic friendlies or Newcastle's first three Premier League games. He completed a deadline-day move to Liverpool after publicly declaring a desire to leave Newcastle, citing broken promises and an irreparable relationship. During the September internationals he did not start for Sweden and acknowledged a difficult summer that could affect match sharpness.
