The fracture between Alexander Isak and Newcastle takes on a completely different turn this time. Indeed, the Swedish striker was not invited to the family barbecue organized by Eddie Howe to weld the locker room around the relatives of the players. Worse still, he was asked to run for training only after the end of the event, confirming his isolation within the group. Already excluded from collective sessions, Isak has been training alone for several days, by decision of the staff according to The Telegraph.
This new episode comes in an already very tense context. Officially injured in the thigh, Isak had shone by his absence during the pre-season internship in Asia, preferring to train without warning Real Sociedad, his former club. A gesture deemed unacceptable by Howe, who publicly cropped it. Behind the scenes, the Swedish international pushes to join Liverpool, who sent an offer of € 138 million, rejected by Newcastle. The club awaits more than 160 million pounds and a secure replacement to consider a departure. But in the meantime, the atmosphere is freezing in Tyneside, and Isak is more than ever in the shadows.
