It's not an easy situation to manage as a club."Who is first choice at Liverpool will depend on the fitness of Alexander Isak.

However, it’s not easy for a player (Ekitike) returning from an eight-month injury to immediately regain his spot in the first team."Speaking to Svea Casino, Zenden added: "Andoni Iraola needs to keep Alexander Isak fit, that’s the best advice I could give. He’s also been unlucky, having suffered a few very nasty injuries and not every injury is a player’s fault."He joined Liverpool after a strong spell at Newcastle, but moving clubs is never easy.

You have to settle in, and if you get injured, it’s hard to regain match fitness. However, he has proven at his previous clubs that he is a handful, so it’s up to the manager to keep him fit and ensure he’s used in the best way possible."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
