Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has revealed Alexander Isak "can't be involved" with the rest of his senior squad right now as speculation surrounding his future continues to grow. The Swede has been chased by Liverpool for much of the summer window, with the Merseysiders having already seen one bid rejected.

The Alexander Isak transfer saga took another twist on Wednesday as it emerged that the Sweden international had been instructed to report to Newcastle's training ground after the rest of his teammates had returned home.
