Should Isak get his 'shooting boots on' or be left to 'fully recover'?
Mark: While it is good to have Isak back, he is unlikely to be fully up to speed for the remainder of the season. Ian: I'd prefer Isak to take longer to fully recover. James: Having Isak back is obviously great, but it gives Slot the same old headache he had at the start of the season.
[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Alexander Isak returning to first-team training this week after being sidelined for three months with an ankle injury and fibula fracture. Do you see the striker having a crucial part to play in the latter stages of this season or do you believe he needs a full pre-season to hit the ground running? Here are some of your thoughts: Mark: While it is good to have Isak back, he is unlikely to be fully up to speed for the remainder of the season.
He is a nice option to bring on for 20 minutes from the bench, if needed, as Arne Slot doesn't seem to trust Federico Chiesa. However, I don't expect to see much from him until next season. Ian: I'd prefer Isak to take longer to fully recover.
He is injury-prone and maybe that's because he is always pushed to return early. Let's leave him to recover properly, have a great World Cup and return on a high at full-strength. James: Having Isak back is obviously great, but it gives Slot the same old headache he had at the start of the season.
Will he drop Mohamed Salah, during his goodbye parade, for the remainder of the season regardless of form? I can't see it. I really want Isak to get going, but his main focus will undoubtedly be getting fit for the World Cup and I'm hoping he gets selected for that squad.
