Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admitted the attacker to want Alexander Isak It is unlikely to appear in the opening match of the Premier League season at Aston Villa.
The 25-year-old Swedish international was not involved in the 2-2 draw of the Sela on Friday evening with Espanyol in St James’ Park, and he will not appear when Howe sends his game against Atlético Madrid on Saturday.
Howe revealed that talks with Isak, the subject of a rejected offer of 110 million pounds Sterling from Liverpool, are underway, but he does not expect any resolution before the opening of the season.

The Magpies head coach said: “I would like Alex to play today, I would like him to train tomorrow. We would like the player to be with us-let me make him absolutely clear. There is no part of me who does not want this result.
“But I don’t see it changing before Aston Villa, the current situation in which we are.”
Isak cut a solitary silhouette on the Magpies training ground since his return to Tyneside who was ordered to work far from the main group after his non-comparison for the club’s pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea.
His indication that he wants to explore his options this summer, associated with the offer of Liverpool – Newcastle values him at more than 150 million pounds Sterling – has created a stretched dead end.
The misfortune of Isak has left the club a major decision to take – collection now and make an important profit on a man who cost them 63 million pounds sterling there are three summer, or try to persuade him that his future remains on Tyneside and that he should sign a new contract to replace his existing agreement, which is still three years to run.
When asked if the club could simply dig in their heels and refuse to sell its star leader, Howe said: “I don’t think it’s so simple, otherwise we would have done it a long time ago. I don’t think we are able to do it today.
“I don’t want to go into too much detail because I don’t think it’s true. I think I said enough.”
Liverpool boss Arne Slot refused to comment on the champions of the Swedish Premier League during his press conference on Friday morning while the Magpies continue to work on potential signatures after a frustrating summer to date.
RB Leipzig Striker Benjamin SeskoThe decision to opt for Manchester United rather than Newcastle has represented a new blow and although they work on other targets, their need extends day by day.
Club failure to date to land potential signatures – they have recruited Anthony Elanga And Aaron Ramsdalewho saved a penalty against the Spanish team during his beginnings, but who missed Hugo EkitikeSesko, James Trafford And João Pedro – aroused suggestions that the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia, which has an 85%stake, is not as committed as they are.
However, Howe, who admitted that Isak’s situation disrupted a team before, was unequivocal in his denial.
He said: “The owners are very committed, as much as they have always been.
“This was a difficult period when there will be many different opinions on different subjects, but can ensure that everyone has logged into Newcastle that the owners are very behind the project and fight every day for the club.”
