Alexander Isak

Isak had three shots (two on target) during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Everton.

Isak has withdrawn from Sweden's national team due to a groin injury he has been nursing, accoridng to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.

Isak (groin) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Everton.

Isak (groin) needs to prove his fitness in the coming days but has a chance to play in Saturday's final game of the season against Everton, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Alex is doing okay, hasn't trained with us yet but has made good progress. Next few days will be crucial to his availability for the weekend. There is a chance, we will only play him if he is fit to contribute. We will leave the decision on Alex until tomorrow."

Isak underwent scans on Sunday morning for a groin injury he felt in training on Saturday and it was clear he couldn't play against Arsenal. It is likely a setback from a previous injury that will not require surgery, coach Eddie Howe said in a press conference, according to Chronicle Live. "He only felt pain after training, he'd felt fine during training and it was just a bit of stiffness really. So he went for a scan this morning purely a precaution. Then it became obvious that he was not going to be fit to play. I don't know. A lot depends on how he will react in the next few days. He has had a couple of groin injuries either side, this is one he had earlier in the season. I don't think it is a surgery issue. It's not something that needs mending. It is certainly something that needs looking at as to why he's getting groin complaints. But yeah it is definitely not a surgery issue it's what is he doing to strengthen that area, which we will look at and focus on."
