The situation surrounding Alexander Isak’s condition has taken another odd turn and Liverpool will not appreciate the uncertainty as our record signing continues to sit out games.Contradictory comments raise Isak concernsGraham Potter has confirmed that Alexander Isak is fit for Sweden after a 'good week', but will be 'smart' with the minutes that the Liverpool striker will get pic.twitter.com/tgpKRqwPKJ— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) November 15, 2025Speaking with the press on Friday, Sweden head coach Graham Potter gave two different versions of Isak’s fitness depending on who asked the question.When Swedish media pressed him on whether the 26-year-old could start, he answered honestly in Swedish: “He’s not ready to play two 90-minute games in four days, so we have to be smart and use him well.”Asked again if the Liverpool forward would start against Switzerland, he simply said: “No.”But when the same question came from the Swiss press in English, the tone changed dramatically.Potter smiled, held back laughter, and replied: “He’s had a good week. He’s not ready for 90 minutes, but you’ll have to wait and see tomorrow.”That inconsistency will trouble us, especially after Arne Slot left the Swede on the bench against Manchester City last weekend.Leak confirms Potter wasn’t being straight about IsakImage via @svenskfotboll on XBy Saturday afternoon, the leaked line-up confirmed the truth: Isak was not in the starting XI at all.Fotbollskanalen reported that Sweden were set to begin with Mattias Svanberg and Benjamin Nygren as a front pairing, with the Liverpool No.9 not involved from the start.The outlet also confirmed that “Alexander Isak will not start.”This comes only days after Hugo Ekitike insisted that he and Isak can “definitely” play together – a reminder that our attack is still being shaped while the former Newcastle striker recovers.Two different press conferences, two different answers, and another missed start paint a clear picture.Whether Potter meant to deflect attention or simply protect his player, Liverpool now know the groin issue is still there, and despite previously saying Isak had ‘no problems’ it’s clear they’re still present.Join our channel of readers on WhatsApp to get the day’s top stories straight to your mobileThe post Potter’s strange answers on Isak could concern Liverpool supporters appeared first on The Empire of The Kop.
