Isak was excluded from Newcastle’s collision in Celtic on Saturday, with chief Eddie Howe admitted to removing him from “exam” because he could leave the club.
The Toon manager later revealed that his Star striker would be part of the Asia tour of his team. However, this has not proven to be the case.
Newcastle has now confirmed that Isak was left out of his travel tray due to an obvious thigh problem with which he has to fight.
In a statement on the club’s website, it says: “Eddie Howe has an almost completely suitable squad to choose from, but Alexander Isak misses a minor thigh injury.”
Isak trained in Austria in Austria at the beginning of this month during a pre-season camp.
The striker’s film material apparently appeared on Tuesday individual sessions outside the main group.
The pictures were released on the same day when Talksport reported that Isak Newcastle had met with a blockbuster wage demand of £ 300,000 a week.
Simon Jordan reacted to these news and said: “There is a part of me who understands that he has signed a long -term contract and that they do not have to do anything.
“I think he is worth whatever you are ready to pay, and it is a certain restriction for it because it is not just what you do for ISAK. It is what you have to do with others.

He also played a leading role in helping Newcastle to end her 70-year waiting time for a trophy when she defeated Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final last March.
Overall, Isak has scored an impressive 62 goals for Newcastle in 109 appearances for Newcastle since his arrival of Real Sociedad.
