He wasn't match fit when he arrived, then picked up the injury against Tottenham just before Christmas, and has never really recovered from being absent from last year's pre-season."It was a pain, it wasn’t fun," the 26-year-old said of his leg break during a Sweden press conference.

Doing a lot of it is not fun."Isak expects to feature for his country against Norway (June 1) and Greece (June 4) ahead of the World Cup kicking off, even though he was an unused substitute for Liverpool on the final day of the Premier League season."Absolutely, I’m fine," Isak promised when he was then asked about Sweden's opening fixture against Tunisia on June 15."I’ve had some injury concerns as you know. Alongside another big-money addition, Florian Wirtz, much more is expected of him in his second campaign at Anfield.When the World Cup is out of the way, he will be able to fully focus on getting properly fit ahead of the new season."Of course, it has been a difficult season for Isak," his former teammate at Real Sociedad, Nacho Monreal, told Rekatochklart this week."First of all, he wasn't a part of the pre-season at either Liverpool or Newcastle.

But what he did for Newcastle was amazing; we all know how many goals he scored."I think he will be very important for Liverpool in the future. I know, in football we want to see the players perform from day one, but I am 100 per cent sure he will score a lot of goals next season."Liverpool.com says: Should Isak get back fit again over the summer, he will score plenty of goals next season.
