Eddie Howe: Isaac is irreplaceable, we value him and hope to continue to have him

July 24th, Newcastle officially announced that the main striker Isaac will not go to Asia with the team to participate in the preseason because the player's thigh was injured. Recently, Isaac has been deeply involved in transfer rumors, and Newcastle insists on treating the Swedish striker as a non-sale item. Not long ago, Newcastle coach Eddie Howe also expressed his views in an interview.

Preseason, Newcastle lost 0-4 to the Celtics away. After the game, Eddie Howe said: "Isaac hopes that even if he can't play in this game, he will sit on the bench and be observed by the team doctor. He did not play the game because he was negotiated and agreed by both sides. He still needs some training to achieve his ideal state. That is the main reason why he was not here today."

"For any player, it is indeed difficult to deal with this situation. From his perspective, phone calls, text messages, players and people around him come to ask him because the media is very developed, the spread is very fast, and the range is very wide. The reason why he did not appear is 10%. "

"I just hope he can focus on himself, focus on training, and prepare for next week."

"I'm very difficult 00% clear about each player, I never do it because it's football, you never know what will happen suddenly. All I can say is that Isaac is happy in Newcastle, he loves his teammates, staff and the entire team here. "

"I never had any problems with him, and I enjoy seeing his talent and watching how he shows himself. Of course, I believe he will continue to stay here at the beginning of the season."

Eddie Howe reiterated that Isaac is a non-selling product, and he said: "Of course, from the board to the staff to all the players, we value his strength very much, very strong. We have some players that cannot be replaced because it's hard to dig into another. We recognize Isaac's ability, and we are eager to continue to have him."
