Tomasson’s remarks came amid anticipation over Isak’s role given his high-profile move to Liverpool.

Additionally, Tomasson and Isak addressed the challenge posed by Kosovo, who Sweden will face with respect and caution. Isak publicly praised the Kosovo players, recognizing their determination and intent to secure victory in Pristina, underlining the competitive atmosphere expected in the qualifier.
In summary, Sweden approaches the Kosovo match with cautious optimism, leveraging Isak’s potential influence as a supersub while respecting their opponents’ capabilities.
