Graham Potter says Alexander Isak is not fit enough to play two full games for his Sweden side.
Isak has been struggling for fitness since making a summer switch from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record fee of £125million.
After a limited pre-season, most of which was spent forcing the move to Anfield, the Swede has picked up a number of niggling injuries and has struggled to kickstart his career in Merseyside.
He did, however, return to the bench for Liverpool's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City last weekend after around three weeks out - but Arne Slot did not call upon him to save a miserable evening at the Etihad.
