Liverpool striker Alexander Isak was spotted doing some extra running at Anfield after his first-half goal put the Reds in front against Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
Shortly after the Swede had broken the deadlock in a largely uneventful first 45 minutes, Isak was out on the pitch doing a couple of sprints, as he did on Saturday, as he continues to work his way back to full match fitness.
The former Newcastle United man missed most of the summer and played 58 minutes against Atletico Madrid a week ago in his first appearance for Liverpool.
Isak was chosen to start against Southampton with Arne Slot making 11 changes to his team in the third round.
Seconds after the half-time whistle blew, Isak was approached by a Liverpool coach to tell him he wouldn't be joining his team-mates in the dressing room, and was required to keep running on the field.
Isak gladly continued running and was replaced by Hugo Ekitike at the interval
It was a lot easier after the goal to do all that running."
