Isak, who has been linked to Liverpool this summer, is not actively training with Newcastle's first team as he pushes for a move away

When Newcastle United host Liverpool on Monday night, the focus will be on a player who won’t set foot on the pitch.

ST: Hugo Ekitiké— The former Eintracht Frankfurt forward has enjoyed a superb start to his Liverpool career. After netting in the Community Shield, Ekitiké kicked off the Reds’ title defence by opening the scoring last Friday. He’s such a slick operator; a forward equally adept at dropping in as he is at bursting in behind.
