Overview

• Liverpool completed a British-record £125 million signing of Isak from Newcastle on deadline day.
• He came on in the 72nd minute for Sweden in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in Kosovo, his first minutes since May.
• Isak received a yellow card nine minutes after coming on following a clash with defender Fidan Aliti, with local reports saying he was booed when introduced.
• He said “not everyone has the full picture” of his Newcastle exit; Sweden coach Jon Dahl Tomasson cited only three training sessions and a jointly agreed cap on minutes, and Isak said Liverpool did not request limits.
• Isak will join Liverpool training this week with involvement at Burnley to be assessed by fitness, as Hugo Ekitike’s strong start offers cover up front.
