by Alexander Isak will be the only absentee when Newcastle organized in Liverpool on Monday in the Premier League in Liverpool.
Since the pre-season tour of China, who started a month ago, the Swedish international has no longer trained with his Magpies teammates. Isak has made it clear that he would like to leave Newcastle in the middle of Liverpool’s interest in signing him, but Newcastle made an explanation last week in which the conditions of a possible sale had not been fulfilled.

Isak had previously accused Newcastle of “promising” when he suggested that the association agreed that he could go in the low season. The striker missed Newcastle’s Premier League start against Aston Villa last weekend and is not within the framework of playing against the club where he wants to join.

The head of Newcastle, Eddie Howe, said that despite the continuing transfer saga, he maintains a good relationship with Magpies striker Isak.

“I didn’t see him this week, but when I see him, we speak as normal, there are no problems there,” said Howe.
“It is a difficult situation from both sides and it is anything but ideal for both parties.
“When we meet each other, we speak, but as I say I didn’t see him this week while he was training later and is separated from the group. We will catch up at some point and hopefully speak soon.”

When asked whether he hopes that Isak will be integrated into the Newcastle squad at some point, he replied: “Yes, of course.
“He has contractually, he is our player. My wish is that he would play with us on Monday evening. But he won’t be and that is unfortunate.

“I have no doubt how the players will feel [about Isak returning]. You will feel the same way as I do. Alex is a fantastic player, he is a good person, a good character and a good boy.
“If Alex wanted to come back and play for us, the players would welcome him.”
Newcastle was expected to suffer a serious injury during a previous season by returning to Joe Willock, who is expected to be available against Liverpool, after fears.
“Joe trained on Tuesday and Wednesday and trained very well,” said Howe. “When he went in the game (in South Korea), I thought he would be traveling in the long term, it didn’t look good. Credit for him – he is fit back and looks good.”
Jacob Ramsey, who came from Aston Villa to Newcastle last week, was able to make his debut for the North East Club.
