Alexander Isak: Eddie Howe says he "can't involve" Newcastle forward currently

Eddie Howe has spoken about Alexander Isak's situation at Newcastle United

Eddie Howe says it is "clear" that he "can't involve" Alexander Isak at Newcastle United as things stand.

Newcastle rejected a £110m bid from Liverpool last week after the striker wanted to explore his options.

Isak missed Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia with a "minor thigh injury", but the 25-year-old went on to train alone at former club Real Sociedad.

Howe previously warned no player could expect to act "poorly and train with group as normal".
