Isak Nears Liverpool Debut After 101 Days Out
Alexander Isak returned to training 101 days after fibula fracture and ankle surgery. He could feature in the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City.
Isak Returns To Training
Alexander Isak could feature for Liverpool after returning to team training 101 days after surgery. Slot said it would not make sense to start him after only two training sessions.
Isak suffered a broken leg and underwent ankle surgery. He is Liverpool's club record £125m signing.
Strategic Fit and Cautious Build-Up
Slot must decide whether to use Isak off the bench or hold him for PSG. Salah is set to start, while Frimpong is fit and Alisson remains out.
Isak is physically in a much better place but 100 days off makes it difficult. Liverpool fans await their £125m investment's return after 16 appearances and three goals.
Extra Time Complication
The FA Cup tie could go to extra time, complicating when to use Isak. Slot said if he comes on and extra time happens, he can be taken off again. This highlights challenges of reintegrating a player after serious injury.
