Liverpool’s record signing, Alexander Isak, was left on the bench as Sweden were held to a 2-2 draw with Slovenia. National team manager Jon Dahl Tomasson revealed that the striker is still short of full fitness, despite his eagerness to play.
“Over the past three months, he hasn’t played a single match,” Tomasson admitted. “He’s only managed three training sessions with us. He needs training and time, but unfortunately, he’s not fully ready yet. If he could, he’d play every minute.”
The update highlights the careful management needed for Isak as he works his way back to full sharpness. While fans are eager to see him in action, both Liverpool and Sweden are determined not to rush his return and risk setbacks.
