Newcastle was underestimated by the news that Alexander Isak is trying to move away from the club this summer. The 25-year-old is eager to explore his options, and for this reason, he was excluded from the Eddie Howe team for the Singapore pre-season tour and South Korea.
The official Newcastle line is that Isak did not travel due to a thigh injury, which he resumed in the recent camp in Austria. And defender Dan Burn was held when he speaks to the media on this subject.
Dan Burn gives a reaction to developments Alexander Isak
According to the initiate of football, Burn asked questions about Isak during the touch in Singapore. He hopes to review his teammate involved when they return to the Northeast.
“He has not trained in recent days when we have also been home. He had a little difficulty with a thigh pressure he picked up while we were in Austria. Obviously, he is a big actor for us, but we have quality all over the field. I hope he will be back in training soon.
“I think that if we lose a player, it would bother us, we are a united group that has been together for two or three years now, so any player who leaves it does not help. From our point of view, we try to control what we can control.
“Obviously, we can’t wait to recover Alex when he is in good shape.”
There is every chance that Newcastle has already sold Isak when his teammates come back from Asia. His departure, which is most likely to be for Liverpool, would be a massive blow for the winners of the Carabao Cup, who hoped to grow this summer after another excellent season. Instead, it was a transfer window to forget so far.
