A number of Alexander Isak’s team-mates at Newcastle are said to be resigned to losing the star to Liverpool.

Newcastle claimed his omission was due to a thigh injury, although many fans and pundits perceived the decision to be due to the transfer speculation.

According to the Daily Mail, squad members now suspect a deal will soon be completed for Isak to go to Liverpool.

He also took aim at his former club for announcing that he was being left at home due to injury, describing the reasoning as “ridiculous.”

Vice-captain Dan Burn, who broke his silence on the saga from Singapore, also refused to comment on whether he believed his team-mate deserved a move, saying: “Listen, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

“But I think we can just control what we can control.

He's obviously a big player for us, but we do have a lot of quality in the squad as well.”

Burn also maintained that Isak had been unable to train properly so far this summer due to his thigh issue.
