The expectation from within is that Alexander Isak will be told to report back to training and play in either the Espanyol game or clash with Atletico Madrid. But Newcastle are still very much active in their attempts to sign Yoane Wissa from Brentford - although the DR Congo man's fight to leave lies in Brentford's hands.

Eddie Howe has revealed Newcastle United are yet to receive any formal offers for Alexander Isak. The forward has been heavily linked with Liverpool after it was reported that he was keen to explore a move away from St James' Park this summer.

Eddie Howe has admitted that Alexander Isak’s Newcastle United future is not in his “full control”. Isak has made clear he wants to leave the club this summer with Liverpool previously communicating their interest in a move for the 25-year-old.
