Eddie Howe: My relationship with Isaac changed after the latter s training
Eddie Howe revealed that his relationship with Isaac changed after the latter's training strike.
Isaac refused to practice with his teammates this summer to force the transfer, and did not communicate with Eddie Howe again after issuing a statement on August 19. In the statement, Isaac claimed that the club broke its promise and failed to trust.
Eddie Howe said: "Isaac has always maintained a good relationship with me. I enjoyed the time I worked with him and hoped that he would cherish the experience of working with us. This is a win-win cooperation between two directions. We helped him grow into a player today, and he also helped the team achieve extraordinary achievements. He was an important part of this successful team."
"But it should be noted that from the moment he started training, our relationship has indeed changed. I think that is the turning point in our relationship. Since then, communication has become difficult. Besides that, I don't want to talk about the details."
Visa will miss the home game against Wolves. The player suffered a knee injury in a 2-3 loss to Senegal and was immediately scanned after returning to the club.
Although the club had expected Visa to resume training and make her debut on Friday, Eddie Howe said: "It's a pity that he will miss the game. I saw him for the first time yesterday and he was still affected by the injury he had suffered before the substitution. We need to observe the situation further. It was a knee injury, but the specific details are not clear. We only met him for the first time yesterday."
