I don’t think he will, certainly under this manager.“But just generally speaking I think he’s not going to be in the frame. I know he broke through and he looked incredibly promising but those injuries have robbed him of an awful lot of football at a really important time in his career.” How do Liverpool get more out of Alexander Isak?

Use the comment button on the bottom left to have your say “I would not be shocked if once he gets fit he heads out, maybe on a loan but there’s also a possibility of a permanent there, because I just don’t get the feeling at all he’s in Liverpool’s long-term plans now.“I think that decision’s been made a while ago so it’s just probably not worth thinking about him as an option for Liverpool going forward to be honest as sad as that is because I thought he was he was excellent when he broke through.”Liverpool must not sell Bajcetic permanentlyWhile it is understandable that Bajcetic would have lost a little bit during his injury troubles, there is still a very good player in there.As young as he is, Liverpool must not cut ties with him until they are absolutely sure he cannot become a first team player at Anfield.After missing such a huge amount of football, it is important that Bajcetic gets back to playing next season. But that must be a loan, not a permanent transfer.If he can play regularly and to a good level, there is no reason Liverpool should not take another look at him.
