Isak to miss Sweden’s 3 remaining Nations League games

Alexander Isak, the Premier League's second-highest scorer this season with four goals in five matches, will miss Sweden's final three Nations League group-stage matches due to a minor injury. The 27-year-old scored in Sweden's 2-1 victory over Romania on Friday. Sweden is set to face Poland on Monday, followed by games against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Romania.

Meanwhile, Liverpool awaits Isak's return as they prepare to take on Manchester City at Anfield on October 11. The Swedish Football Association announced the news on Sunday, with no details about the nature of Isak's injury. Additionally, Sweden's centre back Hjalmar Ekdal, who plays for Burnley, also withdrew from the training camp with a minor injury, and no replacements have been called up at this time.
