Overview
- Introduced in the 62nd minute, Isak played roughly half an hour in Sweden’s 4-1 defeat to Switzerland and said he felt okay afterward.
- Graham Potter confirmed the Liverpool forward is not ready for two full games in quick succession but expects to use him more against Slovenia.
- The 26-year-old’s season was disrupted by a groin injury sustained on October 22 against Eintracht Frankfurt, which sidelined him for four Liverpool matches.
- Since a British-record move worth about £125m from Newcastle after a disrupted pre-season, Isak has made few starts for Liverpool and scored once.
- Sweden sit bottom of their qualifying group and now rely on the Nations League playoff route, while reports suggest Isak could feature for Liverpool against Nottingham Forest if he completes the international window without setback.
