Arne Slot keeps cards close to chest when discussing Alexander Isak fitness
Liverpool manager Arne Slot kept his cards close to his chest on the possibility of Alexander Isak starting the Merseyside derby against Everton, saying Britain's record signing is likely still feeling the effects of his long-awaited return to action.
The Sweden striker played an hour of Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League in his first significant action in months due to his dispute with Newcastle United and prolonged move to Liverpool.
"We just have to see how they all feel," Slot said.
"All I know is Alex probably felt his body more than ever before after the 60 minutes he played, so let's see how he recovered today, then we will see about the lineup later today and you will see tomorrow."

Reigning champions Liverpool have made a 100 per cent winning start to their Premier League title defence, but face fierce opposition from resurgent rivals Everton in an intriguing Merseyside derby this weekend.
Mohamed Salah’s 95th-minute penalty spared Liverpool’s blushes against Burnley last weekend, while David Moyes’ side continued a strong start to the season with a goalless draw against Aston Villa.
Liverpool have won their last four meetings with the Toffees at home and will be desperate to avoid their first loss of the season coming against the old enemy.
