Why a Newcastle striker training with a team in Spain when his team are in Asia
The Sweden international has been strongly linked with Liverpool and did not participate in Newcastle's pre-season tour of Asia.
Should Newcastle demand a British record transfer fee, Isak and his representatives might consider unilaterally terminating his contract.
A European Court of Justice ruling in the Lassana Diarra case has provided players with greater leeway to terminate contracts without just cause, potentially without disciplinary sanctions.
Legal interpretations of the ruling suggest that transfer fees cannot be used to calculate compensation for early contract termination, and a new club must be proven to have induced the termination.

Former Barcelona player misses Conference League qualification match following freak dog accident
Former Barcelona forward Carles Perez missed a game for Greek club Aris on Thursday after he was injured by a dog bite. The 27-year-old, on loan at Aris from Celta Vigo, was due to play their UEFA Conference League qualification match against Azerbaijani side Araz-Naxçıvan. The incident occurred two days prior, when Perez was out walking his dog and encountered a second animal. 'I had the misfortune of suffering a bite on the inside of my leg while trying to separate my dog from another dog during a minor and unexpected incident,' Perez, on loan from Celta Vigo, wrote on Instagram. 'The wound required stitches, which, although not serious, prevents me from being in optimal condition to compete tonight.' Perez wrote that he was 'very sorry' he can't be on the field. He added that he was 'recovering at home" and expected to be back with the team in a couple of days. Thursday's game ended in a 2-2 draw. Araz-Naxçıvan had won the first leg 2-1, so the Greek side advanced on a 4-3 aggregate score. Before the game, Aris manager Marinos Ouzounidis confirmed that Perez would have started the clash. Ouzounidis said: "Carles would have been in the starting line-up. "This incident happened but we can't dwell on it any longer. My mind is working on alternative solutions and we have worked on them. 'That's why I insist that it's important to have players with personality. So I'm interested in the group of players that I will have at my disposal, to give the most they can.' Perez rose through Barcelona's youth system and made his La Liga debut in 2019. He later transferred to Roma initially on a loan move before sealing a permanent transfer to the Italian club in 2020. In 2023, Perez moved to Celta Vigo after a successful loan move. He has since made loan moves to fellow Spanish side Getafe and his current side Aris.

England make rapid progress after Gus Atkinson ends India's innings
England bowled the tourists out for 224, taking the final four wickets for six runs as Atkinson wrapped up figures of five for 33 to complete an outstanding return to the side. Zak Crawley's unbeaten 52 and a livewire 43 from Ben Duckett ensured a dominant first session at the Kia Oval as England took lunch on 109 for one. A stunning morning for England 🏴 Four quick wickets and a flurry of runs. Get up-to-date in the lunch break with our live catch-up highlights 👇 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 1, 2025 India looked badly rattled by the sheer pace of the hosts' scoring, which sat at more than seven an over when Crawley and Duckett were together, with England already well positioned to build a big lead. They wiped out the remainder of the Indian innings in quick time after play resumed on 204 for six, with the dominoes falling quickly once Josh Tongue removed Karun Nair for 57. After blowing hot and cold on day one the Nottinghamshire quick was trusted with the first over and continued to produce a mixed bag. Two of his first balls disappeared to the boundary and he sent four byes down leg. But he also has a habit of producing magic deliveries and mustered another, beating Nair with one that clocked in at 91mph and had him plumb lbw. From there it was over to Atkinson, who crushed the tail in ruthless fashion. Washington Sundar was bounced out, taking on a bumper and feeding a catch to Jamie Overton in the deep, Mohammed Siraj lost his off stump and Prasidh Krishna nicked off for a duck. If the clatter of wickets gave England's openers the jitters it was impossible to tell, with Crawley instantly on the offensive as he slapped three of his first nine balls for four. Duckett overcame a couple of early scares, a loud lbw shout shown to be going over and a possible catch landing safe as the fielders at gully and point left it for each other. Errm what? 😂 Ben Duckett that is ridiculous. — England Cricket (@englandcricket) August 1, 2025 But his response was emphatic, reversing his hands and launching Akash Deep for six over the slips before hitting the ropes three more times in the seamer's next visit. The score raced beyond 50 in the sixth over as Duckett ramped Siraj for six more. The runs kept flowing as the stand reached 92 in 12 overs but Duckett eventually paid the price for his leftfield strokeplay. Aiming another pre-meditated reverse scoop at Deep, he edged through to the keeper and offered up the simplest of catches. The bowler grinned as he draped an arm over the departing Duckett, who did well not to react to the apparent provocation.
