Sweden coach praises Alexander Isak's professionalism amid transfer saga


Alexander Isak included in Sweden's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo, despite ongoing transfer dispute with Newcastle United.

“I find it difficult to have an opinion about what is happening with Alexander in Newcastle...”


Sweden's national team coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, has called up Alexander Isak for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo. This decision comes despite Isak's ongoing saga with Newcastle United, where he's been training away from the squad and refusing to play due to his desire to join Liverpool. Tomasson has expressed support for Isak, describing him as “an extremely professional player† and a “fantastic character and personality.”


Alexander Isak will represent Sweden in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo in September, despite some uncertainty surrounding his club situation. According to coach Jon Dahl Tomasson, Isak's inclusion in the squad isn't ideal, but he'll be part of the team nonetheless. Tomasson made this clear during a press conference when the squad was announced.




Isak, a forward for Newcastle United and Sweden's national team, has been a key player in the past. His current situation at the club level might be uncertain, but he'll be donning the blue and yellow jersey for Sweden in the upcoming qualifiers.


Alexander Isak has been named in Sweden's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo, despite his ongoing dispute with Newcastle United. Coach Jon Dahl Tomasson described Isak as “very professional” and a “game changer” but refrained from commenting on the striker's situation with his club.


Isak's Situation with Newcastle:

  • Transfer Speculation: Liverpool has reportedly shown interest in signing Isak, with a £110 million bid rejected by Newcastle.
  • Contract Details: Isak's contract with Newcastle runs until June 2028, giving the club significant leverage.
  • Current Market Value: Isak's market value is estimated to be around £85-100 million.

Tomasson's Comments:

Professionalism: Tomasson praised Isak's professionalism and work ethic.

Game-Changing Ability: Isak's inclusion in the squad is seen as a significant boost for Sweden's World Cup qualifying campaign.


“I find it difficult to have an opinion about what is happening with Alexander in Newcastle. I have to be very careful to draw any conclusions, we all have to, because we don't have the whole picture,” he says.




Sweden's coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, has made it clear that Alexander Isak won't play the full 90 minutes in both upcoming World Cup qualifiers. “He will not play 90 minutes in both matches. Absolutely not,” Tomasson said, hinting at Isak's uncertain club situation and potential fatigue. Sweden's upcoming matches are against Slovenia on September 5 in Ljubljana and Kosovo on September 8.


Isak's situation with Newcastle United remains uncertain, with reports suggesting a potential transfer to Liverpool. Despite this, Tomasson has included Isak in the squad for the qualifiers, prioritizing his national team duties.


Upcoming Matches:

  • September 5: Sweden vs. Slovenia in Ljubljana
  • September 8: Sweden vs. Kosovo
