Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak is currently undergoing individual training sessions at Real Sociedad’s facilities, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The Swedish international has returned to familiar surroundings in Spain as he recovers from a minor thigh injury, but his absence from the club’s pre-season tour of Asia has only added fuel to growing speculation about his future on Tyneside.
Isak is not participating in the Magpies’ overseas tour, having been granted permission to remain in Europe.
Alexander Isak is training away from Newcastle United
The 25-year-old forward is said to be working closely with a team of personal fitness coaches, independent of Newcastle’s staff, as he continues rehabilitation work away from the first-team squad.
Newcastle have stated publicly that Isak is merely managing a minor thigh issue, and there is no indication of a major injury setback. However, according to Jacobs, the situation is more critical. Isak himself reportedly requested to stay behind while he assesses what lies ahead in his career.
Although no formal bids have been made for the striker at this point, his decision to train independently has raised eyebrows.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the Newcastle striker this summer and the player himself is reportedly interested in joining the Premier League champions.
