Updated / Thursday, 2 Apr 2026 08:42 Alexander Isak has been out since before Christmas Liverpool striker Alexander Isak is poised to rejoin training with the team this week after a prolonged absence due to a broken leg, manager Arne Slot confirmed, with his return also a major boost for Sweden in the run-up to the World Cup. With Sweden sealing their spot at the World Cup with a play-off win over Poland on Tuesday, Slot said things were looking up for Isak.

"I think Alex is in a really good place because Sweden qualified for the World Cup yesterday evening and apart from that he's going to train with the group again for the first time tomorrow," Slot told club media on Wednesday. "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.

"So to have him again in a team that's usually generating quite a lot of chances – and maybe not immediately from the first moment that he can start – but to have him back for the last two months is, I think, very helpful for us." Liverpool, who are fifth in the Premier League, next host Fulham on Saturday. The World Cup runs from 11 June to 19 July in North America (Live on RTÉ), with Sweden in Group F with Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia.
