Liverpool handed worrying Alexander Isak update ahead of PSG tie Alexander Isak may not be fully fit until the end of the season Although some reports have started to emerge to say that Isak could be back in action after the international break , that doesn't really feel like the case. And, as per a fresh update from the Daily Mail , it's clear that, even if Isak does make a return to Slot's first-team squad, he won't be ready to start games any time soon. "Speaking of Isak, the Swede is on the comeback trail and has been running on grass this week at the AXA Training Centre," they wrote.
"That is a huge step in the right direction given that only a month or so ago, he was on a wheeled crutch. But caution must be advised: though it is believed Isak is hopeful of being back in the first weeks of April, it is not like he is going to be straight back into the XI. "Liverpool have been in dialogue with Sweden boss Graham Potter ahead of their World Cup play-off against Ukraine next week and, should they qualify, Isak will be the key man.
"In a Liverpool shirt, though, it might be the start of next season before we see a fully fit and firing Isak. " Alexander Isak will be like a new signing for Liverpool next season Although most people though that Isak would have a massive impact on the way things went for Liverpool this season, it feels like that's more likely to happen next term instead. Indeed, the Reds do still have the Champions League and the FA Cup to fight for so he could have an impact on those tournaments but, if he's not fit to start games, it's unclear how much of a difference he'd be able to make in a 20 or 30 minute cameo.
Isak and Hugo Ekitike were supposed to share the load of being Liverpool's number nine this term and, although the Frenchman has held the fort down well, it's clear that Slot needs another number nine at his disposal. And, even though Isak's £125 million arrival may not have had the desired impact this season, it's clear that he could become an integral part of Slot's plans in 2026-27. If Sweden qualify for the World Cup, it could be the best thing for both parties as it would mean that Isak is getting regular game time and his country have their best player at their disposal.
