Newcastle United are under increasing pressure over Alexander Isak's situation with Liverpool considering a bid for the Sweden international

TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Alexander Isak is now missing from Newcastle training as Liverpool prepare a record bid. The Sweden international pulled out of Newcastle’s pre-season tour in Asia last week, and withdrew from training altogether due to a minor thigh problem.

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has issued a strong stance on Alexander Isak as the Sweden star's summer transfer saga drags on. Crucially, Howe confirmed to Chronicle Live that there had still not been a formal offer from Liverpool but the player remains back in the UK.
