  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Per Keith Downie of Sky Sports, Isak trained away from the Newcastle squad on Wednesday as he continues to push for a potential move to Liverpool, amid reports of a British-record £150 million ($200m) bid from the Reds. Isak arrived at the training ground as the squad were leaving, fresh from a 'family day' to which Isak was not invited.
