"I am very happy that Alexander Isak wants to be in the squad, he is a huge player. The situation he is in is not perfect and he has not trained with his team. But he is a player who can decide matches and he wants to be part of our squad. The World Cup is important for Alexander Isak."
"Alexander is very professional, he has worked hard and is a game changer."
"You need to be careful before drawing any conclusions, we all should be, because we don't have the whole picture."
Alexander Isak was included in Sweden's squad for World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia and Kosovo despite training away from Newcastle and expressing a desire to leave St James' Park. The striker has not played in Newcastle's opening two Premier League fixtures and has trained separately from the first team. Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson acknowledged the situation was not perfect but emphasized Isak's professionalism, match-winning ability and importance for World Cup qualification while ruling out the possibility of playing 90 minutes in both matches. Viktor Gyokeres and Lucas Bergvall were also named, with Gyokeres scoring twice for Arsenal.
