Isak to Miss Start of Premier League Season for Newcastle Amid Uncertainty over Future

Newcastle United will open their Premier League season against Aston Villa at Villa Park on August 16, 2025, at 12:30 local time.
The match sees uncertainty as star striker Alexander Isak remains unavailable amid ongoing transfer speculation and training away from the squad.
Newcastle United are nearing an agreement to acquire Aston Villa’s midfielder Jacob Ramsey for a total fee of £44 million, but it is unlikely that his registration will be completed in time for him to feature in this weekend’s match.
Manager Eddie Howe stated that there has been no change regarding Alex's status, and this is expected to remain the case, confirming Isak will miss the season opener.
The game will feature Newcastle relying on Anthony Gordon as the main forward, while Villa will play without suspended goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
