Alexander Isak Return Timeline Update
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has revealed that striker Alexander Isak is targeting a return to team training around the end of March or start of April, provided he avoids any setbacks during his recovery from a broken fibula and ankle injury.[4][6]
Isak suffered the fracture during Liverpool's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on December 20, 2025, and underwent surgery two days later.[5][6] Since then, he has been sidelined from competitive action throughout the 2025-26 season.
In positive news, Slot confirmed that Isak has begun running outdoors again this week—a significant milestone in his rehabilitation process.[4][6] "Alex has been on the pitch with his running shoes for the first time this week," Slot stated, emphasizing that the final stages of rehabilitation can be unpredictable.
While Isak may rejoin group training around late March or early April, Slot cautioned that returning to team training does not mean immediate readiness for competitive matches.[4] The manager stressed that players require time to regain match fitness after extended individual rehabilitation.
Despite his difficult start at Anfield—scoring just two goals in 10 Premier League appearances before his injury—Slot remains optimistic about Isak's potential impact for the remainder of the season.[5] He expressed confidence that Liverpool fans will eventually see the "best Alex" this season, with the striker potentially available for crucial fixtures in March, April, and May.
