So Alex is, in that sense, in a good place.“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.”The Reds’ No.9, who signed from the Magpies this summer for an astronomical £125m fee, has struggled to gather minutes in his debut campaign at L4.Isak has only managed 16 appearances (781 minutes) in the 2025/26 season, registering three goals and one assist in that time (across all competitions).
