Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has blasted his former club for announcing that Alexander Isak would not be part of their preseason tour for injury reasons, just hours before the striker told the Magpies wish to leave.
Mail Sport exclusively reported on Thursday that Isak, who has not travelled with the squad on their preseason tour of the Far East, is keen to leave Newcastle for a new challenge amid interest from Premier League champions Liverpool.
Just hours before the bombshell dropped, Newcastle claimed that Isak was not part of their preseason trip due to a thigh injury - a decision which Shearer has now branded 'ridiculous' and 'disappointing'.
