2025 Fantasy Outlook
Isak is coming off his best season as a professional, lighting the league up with a career-high 23 goals, finishing second in the Golden Boot race. He added six assists and had multi-goal contribution games in six different outings. While seemingly dealing with a nagging injury the majority of the second half of the season, he battled through and started 34 matches. His summer has been thrown into disarray as he pushes for a move away from Newcastle. With reports that he is refusing to play for the club again it's hard to see him suiting up on Tyneside during the 2025/26 campaign. If he does get his move to Liverpool he would remain one of the top strikers in the league and an elite option in all competitions.
Won't return against Liverpool
Isak won't be included in the match squad for Monday's clash against Liverpool, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Isak posted a statement on his situation with Newcastle earlier this week pointing at the club saying they did not respect their promises about potentially letting him go during the summer transfer window. The club responded to the forward saying he is still under contract and that no promises were made to the player before the summer. That said, Isak remains out for the time being since coach Eddie confirmed he will not be integrated into the match squad to face the Reds on Monday. Until a solution for both parties is found, Anthony Gordon is expected to lead the frontline for the Magpies.
