Alexander Isak has returned to Liverpool after suffering a minor injury during his international match for Sweden. The 27-year-old striker scored the opening goal in Sweden's 2-1 win over Romania in the UEFA Nations League on September 25, playing the full 90 minutes in Stockholm. However, he will now miss the next three games against Poland, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Romania again due to a minor injury sustained during the match. Isak was seen with blood on his sock after the game and spoke to reporters in the mixed zone. The injury, which appears to be to his toe, was caused by a stamp on his foot during the match. Speaking through Aftonbladet, Isak said, "It was a real stamp. Those of you who have played might know that it takes a few minutes before it lets go, but it was okay." The Swedish Football Association confirmed that Isak is now out of international action. Alongside him, Burnley centre-back Hjalmar Ekdal is also leaving the squad due to a minor injury. Both players are not available for the upcoming Nations League matches and are leaving the men's national team squad to continue their rehabilitation processes in consultation with their respective clubs. A statement from Liverpool said Isak is returning to the club from international duty due to a minor injury. The striker will not be involved in Sweden's three remaining fixtures in the current international break and will now be assessed by club medical staff at the AXA Training Centre. Liverpool are set to face Manchester City at Anfield on October 11 in the Premier League and will hope that Isak has recovered by then. The former Newcastle striker has been in good goal-scoring form this season, netting four times in his first five Premier League outings. Isak scored the only goal of the game in Liverpool's win at Bournemouth last time out. Manager Andoni Iraola expressed his desire to see more from the forward outside of just scoring goals, emphasizing the need for Isak to help the team be closer to the box and play in the opposition half. Isak acknowledged the feedback, stating that he wants to be more involved in matches where he is not as engaged.
