Liverpool handed fresh injury scare as Alexander Isak withdraws from Sweden duty

It is a fortnight until Liverpool are back in action, welcoming Manchester City to Anfield on 11 October. Have they been in the news recently.... not sure, haven't checked! Well, with such a massive game on the horizon, Kopites may now spend the next two weeks sweating over the fitness of Alexander Isak.

That's because, on Sunday morning, it was confirmed that the striker has withdrawn from the Sweden squad "due to a minor injury". The club statement notes that the 27 year old "will now be assessed by club medical staff at the AXA Training Centre".

Isak started and scored as Graham Potter's Sweden returned to UEFA Nations League B by beating Romania 2-1 at the Nationalarenan in Stockholm on Friday night. He broke the deadlock after 20 minutes, Ionuț Radu unable to keep out his right footed shot, before completing the 90 minutes.
