Alexander Isak Makes First Appearance Since £125m Liverpool Move in Sweden's Loss at Kosovo

Coaches limited his return to a brief run-out due to his lack of match fitness after a disrupted summer.

Overview

  • The 25-year-old came on in the 72nd minute for his first minutes of the season as Sweden lost 2-0 in Pristina.
  • He was booked soon after entering following a clash with Fidan Aliti, and local reports said he was met with boos.
  • Isak told Swedish media that “not everyone has the full picture” of his Newcastle exit and hinted he may share more in future.
  • Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson said Isak had only three training sessions with the squad and received the maximum minutes deemed safe.
  • Following his British-record deadline-day transfer to Liverpool, Isak will join club training this week with his debut timing to be managed.
