Alexander Isak Fitness Update Liverpool fans have been eager for positive news on Alexander Isak ever since he arrived at Anfield in a record-breaking move. Isak’s start to life at Liverpool has been anything but smooth.

Since then, he has played only eight games and scored once. Potter addressed Isak’s condition ahead of Sweden’s game against Switzerland and made Liverpool’s concerns very clear: “He’s not ready to play two 90-minute games in four days, so we have to be smart and use him well.” He added, “No, he is not ready to start… I think the best thing for Alex is to help us from the bench.” Back at Liverpool, Arne Slot has kept a similar stance.

Potter offered a hint but no guarantees: “He’s had a good week… He’s not ready for 90 minutes, but you’ll have to wait and see tomorrow.” For now, patience remains the game plan.
