Alexander Isak has declared himself ready for his first 90-minute performance since May after a “great” start to life at Liverpool. Liverpool have treated Isak with care since he signed on deadline day, using their competitive matches for his ‘pre-season’ after a summer spent in isolation.

It’s been a month now,” he said via Fotbollskanalen. Despite the recent results, Isak says his time at Anfield has been “great so far.” He added, “Great team and a city where the team has a good relationship with the fans.” That is only the tip of the iceberg, Alex. • READ: Salah now set for TWO major international tournaments in SIX months Although Isak is insistent that he is ready for 90 minutes, Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has maintained that he will continue to treat the 26-year-old with the bigger picture in mind.

“I think Alexander is a good example in terms of how Liverpool have handled him in an excellent way.” Sweden face Switzerland and Kosovo over the coming week and any intense minutes for Isak will only serve Liverpool well, more so if he returns with a goal or two for a timely injection of confidence. The 26-year-old has so far started four of his six appearances for the club, with his 84 minutes at Crystal Palace the most he has managed to date.
