Injury worry for Liverpool! Alexander Isak sent home from Sweden squad after Nations League knock

Liverpool have been hit with a significant injury concern during the international break as star forward Alexander Isak has been forced to withdraw from the Sweden squad. The prolific striker is now set for an early return to Merseyside to undergo further medical assessment.

Liverpool have officially confirmed that Isak will return to the club ahead of schedule after picking up a fitness issue while on international duty. The Swedish international, who has been in sensational form for the Premier League giants, was initially expected to represent his country in a four-match schedule during this international break. However, after featuring in the opening game, he will now miss the remaining three fixtures of Sweden's Nations League campaign in this window to focus on his recovery at the AXA Training Centre.
