Arne Slot has been urged to leave Alexander Isak out of his side following the international break, with the Liverpool boss told that Hugo Ekitike should be the “only one” playing up front. “It’s going to be tricky because right now the only one who should play is Hugo Ekitike,” he told OLBG.

“Hugo should play every game because Alexander Isak didn't train for a while, was fighting against Newcastle in order to come to Liverpool, but right now Isak is not the Isak we have known from years playing for Newcastle. Arne Slot has been told he should be starting Hugo Ekitike over Alexander Isak “But he put a lot of pressure on Hugo.

If he's not ready enough, you should play Hugo.” Slot did play Ekitike and Isak together against Frankfurt before the latter’s injury, although Leboeuf is not convinced that is a plan that will work, feeling that it may create more problems for Liverpool’s other players. It's also possible for Isak to do so.
