Captain Bruno Guimaraes admitted that the future of Alexander Isak was a difficult situation and affirmed that the whole team was missing this striker.
Isak did not participate in the 2-3 loss against Liverpool on Monday, when the Swedish striker continued to pressure to leave St James' Park. Earlier, Liverpool made a £ 110 million offer but was rejected by Newcastle. Isak wanted to move to Anfield, but the Chieu Leader's leadership was still determined to retain the 25 -year -old player.
Guimaraes shared after the match: “I have no contact with him. We practice in the morning, and Isak practice at another time frame, when there is no player there. As the captain and also a teammate, this is a very difficult situation because we want the best players to compete with us. But this is beyond our control, that is the work of the club, the BLD and the bosses will only be resolved.

Bruno Guimaraes admits Newcastle missed Isak |
After the first 2 rounds, Newcastle won only 1 point, with the results of Aston Villa and lost to Liverpool. Coach Eddie Howe admitted that Isak could bring a difference to his talent, but at this time Newcastle could not use the Swedish striker.
The Brazilian midfielder added: “We really remember the striker scored more than 20 goals in the Premier League last season. It was clear that it was a huge absence. We hope he will come back, but unfortunately, this is a situation that both I and any other player cannot interfere.”
President Yasir Al-Rumayyan also flew to England to attend the match against Liverpool, amid the news of a Newcastle leadership delegation had a meeting with Isak to find a way to bring him back to the squad. The summer transfer in the UK will be closed next week and if it is not possible to leave, Alexander Isak needs to make a career decision in Newcastle, at least until January next year.
