Liverpool's star striker Alexander Isak has been absent from the team's recent games due to a groin injury. However, Sweden's manager Graham Potter has assured fans that there is no need to worry about Isak's fitness. Isak, who was signed by Liverpool for a record-breaking fee of £125 million in August, has only managed to score one goal for his new club so far.
The former Newcastle United player has been out of action since mid-October, missing five games. He made a return to the squad last Sunday for their game against Manchester City, but unfortunately, he did not get a chance to play as his team suffered a defeat at the hands of the Premier League champions.
Isak had missed 12 games in the previous season and two in the season before that, all due to groin injuries. It is unclear at this point if his current injury is related to the previous ones or if it is a new issue. Despite his recent absence, Isak was included in Potter's first Sweden squad since his appointment as the manager last month. The team is facing crucial World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia in the next seven days.

Meanwhile, Sweden is already dealing with the absence of Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres, who is out with a muscle injury. However, Potter has confirmed that there are no concerns over Isak's fitness and he is ready to start for the national team.
In October, Sweden suffered a humiliating defeat against Kosovo, putting their World Cup qualification hopes in jeopardy. Isak, who is known for being vocal about his opinions, didn't hold back after the game and described the situation as a "crisis." He expressed his disappointment in the team's performance and took responsibility along with his teammates and the coach.
Isak's lack of goals for Liverpool is a concern for fans, but with his undeniable talent and potential, it is only a matter of time before he finds his form and starts scoring for the Premier League champions.
