Liverpool’s record signing Alexander Isak has resumed training with the club ahead of their upcoming Premier League clash against Burnley. Isak, who joined Liverpool from Newcastle United on transfer deadline day, completed his first training session at the AXA Training Centre following an 18-minute appearance for Sweden in their 2-0 defeat to Kosovo. This represented Isak’s first competitive minutes since May 25, 2025, as he dealt with a minor thigh injury and a lack of preseason action amid a complex summer transfer saga.

Despite his return to training, Isak is not expected to start against Burnley due to his current fitness level, but fans may see him as a late substitute. Liverpool manager Arne Slot is likely to maintain the starting lineup featuring key attackers such as Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Florian Wirtz for the fixture.

Alongside Isak, Liverpool also received encouraging news regarding fullback Jeremie Frimpong who has been pictured training again after missing matches due to a hamstring injury. Frimpong was sidelined after suffering the injury during his Premier League debut for Liverpool and has been working towards full fitness. Another player, Conor Bradley, is also returning from a muscular problem, which allows manager Slot more options for defensive selections.

The training involvement of Isak and returning Liverpool duo Frimpong and Bradley provides a timely boost for the club as they prepare for the Burnley game. Isak’s gradual reintroduction to the squad underscores Liverpool’s plan to integrate their record signing carefully to reach full match fitness in the coming weeks.
