Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has decided that Alexander Isak will feature at St James' Park this weekend - if he's fit.

Isak, 25, is yet to feature in any of the Magpies' pre-season friendlies and has told the Newcastle hierarchy that he wants to leave.

The striker missed their tour of Asia and was last week the subject of a £120million bid from Liverpool.



Chronicle Live report that Howe is planning to essentially make Isak play depending on his fitness levels.

It's added in the report that Howe's initial desire was for the Swede to train with the rest of his squad ahead of the double-header.

The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way.

"So that is also at play here.

No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal."

After Newcastle ended their tour with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, Howe was asked if Isak was scheduled to train with the rest of the group.
