Sweden manager Graham Potter said that Alexander Isak will be available to play during the international break, and is hopeful that the striker will play some part in Liverpool's clash with Manchester City this weekend. Isak has not played in any of Liverpool's last four games after coming off with a hamstring injury at half-time of the Reds' Champions League win over Frankfurt last month.

Potter named his squad for Sweden's World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia earlier this week, and Isak was among the players included. Speaking ahead of Liverpool's win over Real Madrid earlier this week, Slot confirmed that Isak will not start against City.

He is still not training with the team, so we have to wait and see." Meanwhile, Liverpool remains without Alisson, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni against City.
