The international break proved to be a frustrating period for new Liverpool forward Alexander Isak.

After a summer training alone while banished by Newcastle United, Isak, who joined the Premier League champions for £125million, got onto the pitch for the first time this season.

The ex-Real Sociedad forward was called up by Sweden for their World Cup qualifying clashes against Slovenia and Kosovo.



Isak could potentially make his first appearance when the Reds travel to Burnley on Sunday, but it may come too soon for the Swede.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot will also be determined to not rush him back into action, particularly with £79m summer signing Hugo Ekitike leading the line so impressively, while Cody Gakpo has also contributed a goal and two assists in three Premier League matches.

Slot may be hoping to use Isak in the Champions League the following Wednesday, when Atletico Madrid come to visit.

Last season, he contributed 23 goals and six assists in 34 Premier League appearances for the Magpies, who qualified for the Champions League.

Eddie Howe's side wanted to hold onto him, but they had no choice but to part with him on transfer deadline day, with Isak insisting he wanted to exit.

After arriving at Liverpool, Isak said: "I've had a tricky summer where I haven’t played any games.

But I certainly want to play as soon as possible."

Isak's arrival not only made him Liverpool's record transfer, he also became the most expensive player in Premier League history.
