Alexander Isak has been left fuming after Newcastle made it clear to him that he will not be sold this summer - ending his hopes of a move to Liverpool.
The Swede was told of the club's decision with the Telegraph reporting he did not take it well and will continue training away from the first-team.
Isak has been informed that, until he accepts that he will not be getting the move away he wanted, he will not play for Newcastle after being left out of their pre-season games.
Eddie Howe has been the club's spokesperson and had been open and honest about the possibility that Isak could leave the club after three years, but their Saudi Arabian have taken a hard line regarding their refusal to sell.
Liverpool were told that Newcastle were not going to consider a sale when they saw a bid worth around £110m rejected last week, which has resulted in them backing away from further negotiations.
Howe has been aware of the hierarchy's stance has been left to smooth things out with the player.
Newcastle's decision not to officially discipline the player has been a conscious decision.
Isak didn't go on their pre-season tour of Asia but later was seen training at former club Real Sociedad.
