Liverpool Monitors Isak’s Condition…
After a summer full of more twists than a soap opera finale, Alexander Isak has landed at Liverpool with a $168 million price tag and immediately swayed on to Sweden for international duty. Now, every move he makes on the field will be scrutinized more carefully than an ant on a picnic blanket. The towering transfer saga wore on like a toddler’s bedtime story until the final seconds of the deadline day. As Sweden squares off against Slovenia and Kosovo, Liverpool’s medical squad has promptly scheduled a doctor-to-doctor conference that could rival any medical drama on TV.
Having skipped Newcastle’s pre-season hustle altogether, Isak’s fitness might resemble that of a sloth in a marathon. But worry not, because Sweden’s coach Jon Dahl Tomasson insists he won’t ‘do any stupid things with him’. Tomasson, juggling both Isak and Viktor Gyokeres in his line-up, jokes they can work together like peanut butter and jelly—though without the mess. He assures that Isak is all smiles and giggles, ready to score some goals and put on quite the show with his teammate. Who knew international football could sound so harmonious?
