Anonymous
Liverpool striker Alexander Isak withdrew from Sweden’s squad after sustaining a minor injury in Friday’s 2-1 win over Romania, where he scored and played the full match. Isak said he was stamped on, and reports described his foot as bloodied; Sweden and Liverpool have not provided further medical details. He will miss Sweden’s remaining three international fixtures and return to Liverpool for assessment by the club’s medical staff. His availability for Liverpool’s October 11 match against Manchester City is uncertain, with no prognosis announced. Isak has scored four goals in five Premier League appearances this season after an injury-hit previous campaign.
