Isak has been steadily progressing in his recovery and is pictured recently training with a ball. There is positive news for Liverpool Women’s head coach Gareth Taylor, as Zara Shaw marked another step in her recovery with an appearance for the U21 side.

This appearance marked Shaw’s return to the pitch nearly a year after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury while representing England U19s. “It hurts right now and doesn’t seem fair, but I have done it once and I will do it again.” The midfielder has progressed through Liverpool’s academy, signing her first professional contract last August.
