Liverpool on brink of welcoming back incredible star Liverpool are reportedly on the brink of welcoming back a truly incredible player. Liverpool are about to enter a high-pressure period after the international break. The Reds will need to balance UEFA Champions League qualification with this season's campaign.

That means trying to find a way past Paris Saint-Germain over two legs while also battling for a top-five finish in the Premier League. And they won't have the advantage the Parisians boast in getting a week off ahead of each leg. In other words, Liverpool needs all the help they can get and it appears they will get that.

The Athletic reports that Alexander Isak is on the brink of a return and should face PSG. Now, whether that means one leg or two, we're not sure (the Champions League tie, Isak should have both). But Liverpool would take just having him as an impact sub towards the end of the meeting at Anfield.

This is a boost, then. Isak's leg break was never keeping out of the entire campaign but it feels like this is the perfect timing for a return.
