Isak’s Absence and Potential Newcastle Fine…
Alexander Isak might be in hot water with Newcastle United for missing training, and Eddie Howe isn’t ruling out punishment. Since returning from the Far East, Isak has been training solo, much like a rock star going solo after a band breakup. Isak missed the match against Aston Villa and is hoping Liverpool swoops in with a successful offer. Asked if Isak might get fined, Howe, looking like a man trying to decipher the mysteries of a lost civilization, said others are dealing with it. Meanwhile, Liverpool fans are probably writing songs about love and transfers.
The Chronicle claims Newcastle is pondering when to discipline the Swedish striker, who has bounced back from a groin injury—a comeback more effective than a superhero in spandex. Howe insists Isak has an open invitation to return, but it seems Isak has the keys to this soap opera. Howe emphasized the need for resolution, as distractions are about as welcome as a mouse at an elephant parade. While the narrative might hinge on Isak’s absence, Howe concludes his crystal ball is no clearer, and all they can do is focus on players holding down the fort. Fans are left wondering if Newcastle’s saga will have a happy ending or if their drama llama will keep on spitting.
