Alexander Isak's Fitness and Liverpool Medical Updates
Alexander Isak, Liverpool's record signing from Newcastle United, has made a candid admission regarding his current fitness levels as he prepares for a potential debut following the international break. The Sweden international underwent a medical assessment by Liverpool's medical team on Monday before officially completing his move to Anfield, which reportedly involved a British record transfer fee of £125 million, potentially rising to £130 million with add-ons.
Isak, aged 25, has signed a six-year contract and was pictured during his medical and first training sessions at the AXA Training Centre, where he also met new teammates including Jeremie Frimpong. Despite the excitement, Isak openly acknowledged that he is not yet at full fitness, which could influence the timing of his debut for Liverpool, possibly pushing it until after the international break.
Speaking after joining Liverpool, Isak expressed his strong motivation, saying he aims to "create history" and win trophies at the club. He emphasized that Liverpool represents the perfect environment for him to develop further, elevate his game, and contribute meaningfully to the team's success. The signing forms part of Liverpool’s intensive summer transfer activity, with total spending around £416.2 million excluding add-ons.
The club and fans are closely monitoring Isak’s fitness status to determine when he will be match-ready, with cautious optimism surrounding his integration into Liverpool’s squad. His physical condition remains a key factor in planning his immediate impact and availability for upcoming fixtures.
