Isak Called Up for Sweden World Cup Duty

Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has been called up to the Swedish national team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico starting next month. Isak had a difficult season marked by both long- and short-term injuries and fitness concerns stemming from a lack of pre-season preparation following his protests at Newcastle. His inclusion in the squad is seen as a positive sign that his recent fitness issues do not require post-season rest or surgery.
