Sweden Coach Praises Liverpool’s Isak Plan, Unsure He Can Last 90 Minutes

His £125m switch came after months without competitive action, prompting a staged return to fitness.

Overview

  • Alexander Isak has been named in Sweden's squad for October World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Kosovo.
  • Since his deadline‑day move to Liverpool, he has made six appearances totaling 312 minutes with one goal and one assist.
  • Jon Dahl Tomasson says Liverpool’s cautious buildup matches what he would do and describes their handling as excellent.
  • Tomasson highlights Newcastle’s contrasting case with Yoane Wissa, who was injured on DR Congo duty and is not expected back until November.
  • Isak trained away from Newcastle’s first team over the summer and only resumed competitive minutes with brief Sweden cameos in September.
