EPL: Eddie Howe speaks on Isak playing in Newcastle vs Liverpool clash

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that Alexander Isak will be playing in the Premier League clash against Liverpool on Monday night. Isak, who has not played for the Magpies since the end of last season due to effectively going on strike to force a move, is still part of the squad according to Howe.

Despite Isak's wish to leave Newcastle, Howe expressed optimism that the player will be back in a Newcastle shirt. Liverpool had previously made a bid for Isak, which was rejected.

Howe's comments suggest that Isak will be involved in the upcoming match, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
