Wayne Rooney criticised Yoane Wissa for removing all Brentford-related content from his Instagram, calling the move "very disrespectful." Newcastle rejected a £40m offer for Wissa while Alexander Isak continues to push for a move to Liverpool and released a statement saying "promises were broken and trust is lost." Rooney insisted players must remain professional, not strike or miss training, and must be available for teammates even if seeking an exit. Rooney expressed that, given the reported actions and broken trust, he would not accept Isak back at Newcastle and suggested teammates would feel the same.
"If players leave football clubs - and that happens all the time - there's a way to go about it. You can't go on strike, can't not turn up for training and train with your team-mates. If you want to leave the club or not, you have to be there for your team-mates and be ready if needed."
"For me, I don't think there's any way back for Isak at Newcastle. I think there are cases where it can happen, but from me as a person, I don't think I could accept them back. In terms of Isak's team-mates I wouldn't want him back. You can ask to leave a football club - that happens, or the club tell you you're leaving - but you have to be professional. You've got friends in there who you play with, you have fans who are paying a lot of money to support and you can't just walk out on it."
