Liverpool’s £125m Signing Alexander Isak Joins Sweden Camp With Minutes to Be Managed

Sweden will limit the unprepared striker's time with no directives from Liverpool.

Overview

  • Isak completed a reported British record £125m transfer from Newcastle to Liverpool before linking up with Sweden in Stockholm.
  • He trained with the national team ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia on Friday and Kosovo on September 8.
  • Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson said Isak lacks match fitness, will not play 90 minutes, and could be used as a game-changing option.
  • Tomasson noted regular contact between Sweden and Liverpool staff and said a plan is in place to manage the player’s workload.
  • Reports indicate a likely Liverpool debut after the international break, with a bench appearance at Burnley on September 14 viewed as possible.
