This comes after the Swedish FA requested him to undertake media duties ahead of the team's autumn internationals.

Whether or not Isak has made his proposed Premier League transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool, he could opt out of any press responsibilities.

There has been no change in the situation between Isak and Newcastle following high-level discussions between the unsettled star and the club's executives at his residence on Monday.

Head coach Eddie Howe is set to provide an update on Isak's situation at his press conference before the Leeds match.

Last week, Isak took to Instagram and posted: "Promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time."

However, Newcastle has refuted these promises, stating that he is "welcome" to resume training at any time?

Isak is waiting to discover whether Liverpool will table a second offer to bring him to Anfield during the transfer window's closing stages.

If not, he's due to travel to Stockholm to meet up with Jon Dahl Tomasson and start preparing for World Cup qualifying fixtures against Slovenia and Kosovo.

Nevertheless, the situation could become more complicated for Isak upon his arrival in his homeland next week, with television crews and journalists naturally eager to intensify their focus on the striker's contentious summer

A Swedish source revealed to Chronicle Live: "Swedish FA officials have promised that Isak will do media, let's see if they keep that promise!"

Should Isak be made available to the press next week, it would at least offer the missing forward a chance to clarify his position after a brief statement failed to appease Newcastle supporters last week, though any disclosures about his reasons for wanting to leave the Magpies would create compelling viewing for media organisations worldwide.

Tomasson, predictably, appeared to back Isak, recognizing he requires the striker to be match-ready for two vital World Cup encounters

Of course not.

"I am very happy that Alexander Isak wants to be in the squad, he is a huge player."

Newcastle has remained silent following club officials' visit to Isak's residence last week.
