Tomasson called up Isak for this week's World Cup qualifiers, though left him on the bench for Friday's 2-2 draw with Slovenia.

"He had only done three training sessions with the team,” Tomasson explained to Viaplay after the game.

“No pre-season with the team and of course no playing time. The risk is probably a bit too great to use him today.”

Sweden meet Kosovo on Monday and Tomasson says Isak could feature from the bench.

“Hopefully, hopefully. As a game-changer,” added the Dane.
