Teammates say the saga’s end brings clarity inside Newcastle’s dressing room.

Overview

  • Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson left Isak unused against Slovenia, calling it too great a risk after just three team sessions and no pre-season.

  • Newcastle moved to reinforce their attack with Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa following Isak’s exit.
