Alexander Isak was not called up for Sweden’s all-important World Cup playoffs this month, which had been outlined as a potential return date by his international manager Graham Potter, much to the relief of Liverpool’s Arne Slot.
Potter was “optimistic” that Isak could recover from a fractured fibula suffered at the end of 2025 in time for March’s fixtures. “There’s a chance,” he teased. Slot was not impressed.
