Summary of Alexander Isak's Fitness Progress Alexander Isak, the Swedish international, is still in the recovery phase after a disrupted pre-season due to his transfer saga from Newcastle United to Liverpool. Having missed out on competitive club appearances for nearly three months, Isak joined Liverpool in early September and has been gradually eased into the team by head coach Arne Slot. Isak's inclusion in the team has been cautious, with the striker yet to play a full match for the Reds. His longest outing so far was 84 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace. Arne Slot has emphasized that Isak cannot play every single game, highlighting the need for careful management of his minutes to ensure he reaches peak fitness without risking injury. Recovery Timeline Isak is expected to reach peak fitness in about **3-4 weeks**. However, full recovery might extend up to **three months**. This timeline reflects the challenges of lacking a proper pre-season and the careful approach Liverpool is taking to protect their record signing. Isak's subdued start at Liverpool is attributed to his disrupted summer, but Sweden national team boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is not concerned, commending Slot's handling of Isak's integration into the team. Current Performance So far, Isak has made six appearances for Liverpool, with three starts. He has scored in the Carabao Cup and recently assisted Cody Gakpo in a match against Chelsea. Despite his slow start, there is optimism that as Isak continues to work towards full fitness, he will become a more consistent contributor to the team.
