Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has returned to his club earlier than planned after sustaining a minor injury during Sweden's Nations League match against Romania. The 25-year-old forward, who had joined the national team for the tournament, withdrew from the squad following the game due to a thigh issue.
Isak, who scored in Sweden’s 2-1 victory over Romania, will now undergo assessment by Liverpool’s medical team. The injury marks another setback for the £125m signing, who has already faced multiple injuries during his time at Anfield. His absence will impact Sweden’s remaining Nations League fixtures, as he is expected to miss the next three games.
The injury was confirmed by Sweden’s head coach Graham Potter, who described the situation as a “frustrating” setback. Isak’s early return to Liverpool has raised concerns about his fitness ahead of the club’s upcoming matches. The club has not yet provided further details on the extent of the injury or a timeline for his return.
Isak’s latest injury adds to a growing list of challenges for the forward, who has struggled with consistency since joining Liverpool. His absence could affect both his personal performance and Sweden’s campaign in the Nations League.
