Graham Potter Says Alexander Isak Fit to Lead Sweden in Must-Win Qualifiers

Liverpool have been easing the £125m striker back after a recent groin issue.

Overview

  • Potter said Isak arrived at Sweden camp with no issues, making him available to start in the World Cup qualifiers.
  • Sweden sit bottom of Group B and must beat Switzerland and Slovenia to keep a realistic path to qualification alive.
  • With Viktor Gyokeres unavailable, Isak is expected to be the primary centre-forward in a likely 4-4-2 setup.
  • Isak has not played for over three weeks and was an unused substitute in Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
  • Arne Slot acknowledged a groin rehab set Isak back after his deadline-day move, leaving him on one goal in eight appearances so far.
