Isak withdrawn from Sweden squad with minor injury

Alexander Isak has been released from Sweden’s squad after sustaining a minor injury during international duty, forcing the Liverpool striker to return to England for further assessment. The 27‑year‑old started Sweden’s Nations League opener against Romania and made an immediate impact, scoring the first goal in a 2‑1 victory. He completed the full match but later reported discomfort, prompting the Swedish federation and Liverpool to agree on his withdrawal from upcoming fixtures.

Isak will therefore miss Sweden’s matches against Poland, Bosnia and Romania, a setback for coach Jon Dahl Tomasson as the team looks to build on its strong start. Liverpool confirmed the decision in an official statement, noting that the forward will undergo evaluation by medical staff at the AXA Training Centre. The club described the issue as minor, but his availability for Liverpool’s next Premier League outing will depend on the results of the assessment and his short‑term recovery.
