Overview

  • Isak was named to Sweden's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo on 5 and 8 September.
  • Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson acknowledged Isak has not trained with his club but called him a decisive player with the World Cup in mind.
  • The Newcastle forward has been training alone since missing the club's pre-season tour to Singapore and South Korea.
  • Isak said on 20 August that broken promises ended trust and that a change would be in everyone's best interests.
  • Newcastle rejected a reported £110m bid from Liverpool, reiterated he remains under contract, and talks with senior management this week left Isak intent on a move.
