Liverpool striker, the Swede Alexander Isak, has returned to Anfield after sustaining a "minor injury" during his participation with the Swedish national team in the current international window.
Isak scored a goal and played the full match on Friday in Sweden's victory over Romania in the UEFA Nations League.
However, the 27-year-old player will not participate with his national team in its matches against Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Romania during the remainder of the ongoing international break.
Liverpool said in a statement published on its website yesterday: "Alexander Isak will return to Liverpool from the Swedish national team camp due to a minor injury."
The club added: "The striker will not participate in Sweden's three remaining matches during the current international break, and will now undergo assessment by the club's medical staff at the AXA Training Centre."
Isak's first season with Liverpool was affected by injuries following his controversial move from Newcastle.
But the player has performed better this season, scoring four goals in his first seven matches in all competitions.
Liverpool coach, the Spaniard Andoni Iraola, hopes for Isak's recovery before the team's next Premier League match against Manchester City on October 11.
