Newcastle United Face K-League All-Stars Amid Transfer Uncertainty and Pre-Season Struggles

Newcastle United’s pre-season preparations continue in Suwon, where they face a tough K-League All-Star side to open their South Korea tour. As they get ready for the 2025–2026 season, the Magpies are keen to get back on track after suffering back-to-back friendly losses.

Newcastle lost badly to Celtic 4-0 and narrowly to Arsenal 3-2 after winning early against Carlisle. Will Osula is anticipated to lead the line once more since Callum Wilson is no longer available and Alexander Isak is out due to a reported thigh injury.

As transfer window continue to stall, uncertainty grows around Eddie Howe’s team, as a result of Isak’s absence, which has only intensified rumours about his future.

Newcastle has had a rough off-season despite qualifying for the Champions League and winning long-awaited silverware the previous season. Isak’s potential departure could leave a weakened attacking force, and efforts to strengthen the squad have been frustrating.

There won’t be a regular TV broadcast in the UK or the US, fans eager to follow Newcastle’s pre-season action in South Korea can watch the friendly match live via NUFC TV or the club’s official website for just £6.99. This is a very important test for Howe’s team, both in terms of how well they play and how they set the tone for the next season.
