Isak returns to Liverpool after injury scare

Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has returned to Anfield after a brief setback due to a minor injury sustained during Sweden's international match against Romania. Following Sweden's win in the Nations League against Romania, Isak played the entire 90 minutes, but will not be part of Sweden's subsequent matches against Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Romania.

The club confirmed the news in a statement on their website. The 27-year-old will undergo assessments at the AXA Training Centre. Isak's return comes after an injury-disrupted debut season at Anfield following his controversial move from Newcastle. He has improved since then, netting four goals in his first seven appearances for the Reds.

Manager Andoni Iraola is hoping Isak will be fit for their upcoming Premier League clash against Manchester City on October 11.
