Diagnosed with thigh injury
Isak has withdrawn from the remainder of Sweden's international camp due to a minor thigh injury suffered during the 2-1 win over Romania, according to Sweden head coach Graham Potter, per Liverpool Echo. "He's got a small problem with his thigh. It's not a big one but because of the amount of games we've got in a small space of time, he won't be able to make those. Unfortunately after getting it checked out, it's a little bit more than what you think during the match. He has to miss the rest of the camp."
Analysis: Isak will return to Liverpool for assessment after the thigh issue proved slightly more significant than initially thought following the Romania match. Sweden head coach Graham Potter stressed that the injury is minor, and the forward will have the remainder of the international break to recover before Liverpool face Manchester City on Oct. 11. If Isak is unable to return in time, Cody Gakpo and Lewis Koumas could see increased opportunities leading the line.
Returns to Liverpool with injury
Isak will return to Liverpool from international duty with Sweden due to a minor injury and will be assessed by the club's medical staff, according to the club.
Analysis: Isak was seen with a bloody toe after taking a heavy stamp against Romania and will now use the remainder of the international break to recover. The early indication is that the issue is minor, giving him time to regain fitness before Liverpool resume their season against Manchester City on Oct. 11. If Isak is unable to return in time, Cody Gakpo and Lewis Koumas could see increased opportunities up front.
