Alexander Isak withdraws from Sweden squad because of injury as Liverpool striker admits 'real blow'

Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has withdrawn from the Sweden squad and returned to Anfield for medical assessment. The £125m forward suffered a heavy stamp to his toe during a 2-1 Nations League win over Romania, which proved more severe than initially thought. Graham Potter confirmed the frustrating setback, meaning Isak will miss the remaining September-October internationals. Having scored four goals in five league matches this season, the striker is now expected to miss three games.
