Newcastle striker Alexander Isak was told to report for training on Wednesday after the rest of the squad had left as uncertainty over his future continues.
The 25-year-old Sweden international did not travel with his team-mates on their pre-season trip to Singapore and South Korea, ostensibly because of a minor thigh injury, after Liverpool, who subsequently tabled a £110m (€126m) bid for him, let it be known they remained interested in acquiring his services.
Isak, who later informed the club he wanted to explore his options this summer, instead flew to Spain to train at former club Real Sociedad and returned to Tyneside at the weekend, shortly before head coach Eddie Howe and his squad landed back from Seoul and were given two days off.
The players were back at the training ground on Wednesday morning and their families were invited to join them after training.
However, it's understood Isak, who reported back to the club's Benton base on Monday, was told not to come in until after they had left.
