Isak hasn't completed 90 for Liverpool yet, but he has made five appearances, scoring once. While considerable attention has focused on Isak's physical condition, Slot has cautioned that the forward must develop chemistry with his colleagues and vice versa once he reaches peak fitness, meaning fans may need to wait before witnessing him at his peak.

"That's what we inherited from his situation at Newcastle. We knew this before, so it's not an excuse.

"These are the things that they have to work on, but that's been harder than last season because of Alexander, Alexis [Mac Allister], Conor [Bradley], and playing Dom [Szoboszlai]." Slot was also asked about the fitness of Ekitike, Alisson, and Federico Chiesa.
