Alexander Isak not in the squad for Newcastles first pre-season game, club protocol, are administered

Alexander Isak is not in Newcastle United's squad for her friendly game against Celtic. The club insists that its minutes are managed and it is not associated with its future.

The 25-year-old was the interest of Liverpool, while he was associated with a move all summer, although Newcastle repeatedly insisted that her star striker was not for sale.

Although this is the first official pre-season Friendly von Newcastle, after a 4-0 win behind the victory against Carlisle United last Saturday, the lack of Isak and Joelinton, the midfielder, will be traced back to their season, which is carefully monitored after the club.

Joelinton missed the last five games from 2024-25 with a knee problem, while Isak had a recurring groin injury and was absent for the second last game of the previous campaign.

Newcastle suffered considerable frustration during the transfer window, with Hugo Ekitens her most recent goal that has decided to go elsewhere. Liverpool is currently negotiating with Eintracht Frankfurt on the French striker after Newcastle broke off the talks last week.

Anthony Elanga is the only Senior supplement from Newcastle this summer. The Swedish winger will be involved in Glasgow against Celtic.
Eddie Howe will ask questions about the fitness of Isak and especially for the future of the striker that follow the friendship area in Celtic.
