Arne Slot has left Alexander Isak out of his starting lineup after hinting at easing him back in earlier this week. Speaking in a press conference ahead of the Man City clash, he said: “Of course it’s only his first session, after three- or four-months [out], with the team but it’s good to have him back because we all know who we signed and we’ve signed an incredible striker.” “So to have him again in a team that’s usually generating quite a lot of chances – and maybe not immediately from the first moment that he can start – but to have him bac for the last two months is, I think, very helpful for us.” The Liverpool social media community was thrown into a frenzy of excitement when Alexander Isak was finally pictured taking part in full-team training again for Liverpool.

He has endured a difficult first season at Liverpool, after earning a British transfer record move to the Reds after becoming one of the best strikers in the world whilst at Newcastle United.
