Alexander Isak's Sweden team-mates admit they have been impressed with his start to life at Newcastle United in response to the striker's withdrawal from international duty early this week. The forward said his goodbyes and left his country's camp on Thursday after picking up a small niggle in training.
Isak trained alone after linking up with his international co-stars but Sweden staff felt the 23-year-old wouldn't be fit enough to face to Serbia on Saturday or Slovenia on Tuesday after assessing his knock at the start of the week.
Viktor Claesson, Mattias Svanberg and the rest of the Sweden side will now have to tackle their Nations League clashes without their main man in attack and have been quick to highlight how big of a loss Isak will be in the next week.
