The Isak situation, we know that it’s very minor, more of a niggle, but he is being managed.“You’ve got the form of [Hugo] Ekitike and Isak’s coming off the back of a heavily disrupted pre-season programme.

The more sessions and games that you miss during that block, the higher risk you are of picking up an injury."Again, it comes as no surprise that Isak’s going to pick up one or two niggles during these early two months for Liverpool. Liverpool supporters will hope that when they go into the second half of the season, they’ll start to see an Isak which justifies that price tag.”Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
