Mirror: Isaac is putting pressure to leave the team and will face fines for refusing to play for Newcastle

According to the Mirror, Isaac is forcing Newcastle to let him leave the team to join Liverpool, and he will face a fine for refusing to play for the team.

Although Liverpool's offer has been rejected, Isaac insists on not playing for Newcastle. He has three years on his contract and receives a salary of £140,000 a week, but has not trained with his teammates in recent weeks, but instead works alone at the club training ground and has moved out of his residence.

Gordon will replace Isaac and lead Newcastle to face Aston Villa. At the same time, new aid Ilanga, who has transferred from Nottingham Forest for £55 million, will make his debut.

It is reported that Isaac's failure to participate in the game against Villa would result in him being fined. Eddie Howe said in an interview that this deadlock affected the morale of the team during the pre-season preparation: "I think the morale of the team has really been affected in the early stages of pre-season preparation. There is nothing I can do about it, and this situation will always be there. When such a good player is not in your roster, it is difficult for the players to fully understand the situation and know how to deal with it."

"But over time, everyone has accepted that this is our roster and we have to do our best to deal with it. No matter what situation you are in, you have to find a solution, control what you can control. We have moved forward and the atmosphere in the team over the past few weeks is very good."
