Sept 27 : Sweden striker Alexander Isak will miss the country's three remaining Nations League group-stage fixtures due to a minor injury and will return to club side Liverpool, the Swedish Football Association said on Sunday.

The 27-year-old scored in Sweden's 2-1 win over Romania on Friday. They host Poland on Monday before facing Bosnia & Herzegovina and Romania, while Liverpool are next in action against Manchester City at Anfield on October 11.

Isak, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle United last year for a fee of 125 million pounds ($165.61 million), is the Premier League's second-highest scorer this season with four goals in five matches, one behind City striker Erling Haaland.

Neither Sweden nor Liverpool provided details of the injury.
