Isak to Return to Team Training This Week – Slot

Liverpool’s head coach, Arne Slot, has announced that Alexander Isak will resume group sessions with the squad on Thursday. The Swedish forward, who joined the club for a club-record £125m fee in September, has been absent from action for over three months due to a leg fracture and subsequent ankle surgery. His injury occurred during a match against Tottenham on 20 December, which led to his exclusion from the team’s activities since that date.

Isak, 26, had previously contributed 16 appearances and three goals for the Reds prior to his injury. Slot highlighted that the player is in a strong position following Sweden’s World Cup qualification success, adding that his return to training marks a significant milestone. “Alex is in a really good place because Sweden qualified for the World Cup, and he’s about to join the group again tomorrow,” the coach said in a statement to the club’s website. “After working hard for three or four months and finally getting back to team training, it’s a positive moment for everyone.”

The club is set to take on Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, with kickoff scheduled for 12:45 BST. Isak’s injury was sustained during a challenge by Micky van de Ven as he netted a goal in the 2-1 victory over Spurs.
