Alexander Isak has been left out of Newcastle United’s pre-season tour to Singapore, raising fresh speculation over the striker’s future. The 25-year-old has recently been the subject of heavy interest from Liverpool, despite Newcastle’s insistence that he is not for sale.<\/p>
Isak was also absent from Newcastle’s recent friendly defeat to Celtic. Nwcastle manager Eddie Howe revealed that the decision was made to shield the player from transfer speculation. Although Howe had later suggested Isak would join the squad in Asia, the Premier League club has now confirmed that he has not travelled due to a minor thigh injury.<\/p>
However, doubts remain over a probable transfer move after reports surfaced earlier this week indicating that initial scans were clear. Footage also emerged on social media showing Isak training away from the main group during the team’s recent Austrian camp.<\/p>
