The football world’s attention is focused on the northeast of England this Monday, where Liverpool faces Newcastle United in the Premier League.
The “Reds” arrive at the match after an exciting 4-2 victory against Bournemouth in a thrilling opening day game.
After Antoine Semenyo scored two goals to tie the score 2-2, Federico Chiesa scored in the 88th minute, unleashing euphoria among the fans.
Mohamed Salah also contributed with a goal, continuing his impressive streak of participating with at least one goal or assist in every Premier League match since joining Liverpool in 2017.
Meanwhile, in Newcastle, a tense atmosphere prevails. Star striker Alexander Isak will not be available, while rumors about his possible transfer to Liverpool are growing.
Last week, Isak posted on Instagram that the promises made at Newcastle have been broken and that he has lost faith in the club.
Newcastle responded with a statement, stating that they would welcome Isak back to the team and that he is not available for transfer.
With the closing of the transfer market on September 1st, the situation is uncertain.
The absence of Isak was felt in last week’s match, where Newcastle drew 0-0 against Aston Villa, despite Ezri Konsa’s red card.
Will the “Magpies” be able to overcome the Premier League champions?
