Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has provided an update on Alexander Isak’s situation, insisting that the forward still cannot be reintegrated into his squad.

The striker is pushing to join Liverpool this summer, despite the Magpies’ insistence that he will remain at St James’ Park next season.

Speaking on Friday about the situation, Howe said: “He is here, so of course he has a future at Newcastle.



So, certainly from our perspective, everyone connected with the club, we would love to see him back with the team.

“But the situation has to be right for that to happen.

He’s here and he’s contracted to us, so as long as he’s in that position, there is, of course, a chance that he could play for Newcastle again.

But I don’t know what the future will hold.

“We’ve had discussions and it’s clear at the moment that we can’t involve him with the group.

I don’t know how long that will be for.

But it’s clear I can’t involve him with the team.
