Eddie Howe acknowledged that the situation involving Alexander Isak is complicated and not ideal. The player has been unsettled due to interest from Liverpool, which submitted a 110m bid that Newcastle rejected. Isak remained behind from the pre-season tour in Asia citing a minor thigh injury, but reports surfaced that he was training with his former club Real Sociedad. Howe confirmed he learned of Isak's training location through media sources and maintains support for Isak's return to the team.
Isak did not travel to Asia for Newcastle's pre-season tour due to what the club called a minor thigh injury, only for his unhappiness to emerge along with the fact he is training at his former club Real Sociedad.
Liverpool submitted a 110m bid for Isak, but after that was turned down, they have intimated they do not intend to submit a second offer this transfer window.
Howe said, "I know where he is through the media, so I think from that perspective it's difficult for me to go into any detail."
Howe expressed support for Isak, stating, "my wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again."
