Alexander Isak planLiverpool decided that it was best for Alexander Isak to train rather than play a few minutes off the bench at Turf Moor yesterday, and he could instead make his debut against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Isak will be carefully managed over the next few weeks and we won't see him play a full game for a while.
However, Arne Slot is looking forward to working with him.
"Don’t expect him every single game 90 minutes on the pitch – that’s definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks," Slot said on Friday.
"He missed a proper pre-season, I think he missed three or four months of team sessions, so now we have to build him up gradually with us playing so many games and [having] very little training time.
"So, that’s going to be a challenge but we’ve signed him not only for the upcoming two weeks, we’ve signed him, I think, for six years.
"This is what we have to keep in mind and what the fans have to keep in mind if they see that I take him off at a certain moment or I only bring him in for a small amount of minutes.
That’s all for the long-term fitness of the player."
Alexander Isak.
