Isak boost for Liverpool ahead of PSG clash

Story By: Sky Sports

Liverpool are boosted at PSG by the return of Alexander Isak to the fold after 15 weeks on the sidelines.

The 26-year-old has only managed 16 appearances since his £125m switch from Newcastle, having had to play catch up in terms of fitness and deal with some minor injuries before suffering a significant issue in December.

Isak was hurt in a tackle by Micky van de Ven when scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win against Tottenham, leading to surgery on an ankle injury, which included a fibula fracture.

The Sweden international is part of the 21-man squad in Paris and Slot said: “He’s finished close to a week of team training sessions now, so he can play a part otherwise I wouldn’t take him.

“I decided not to take him to the Etihad because we felt, and talked with the player, medical, performance staff, that he wasn’t able to get a performance out of him yet.

“Since he’s with us now, we do think that we can get a performance out of him now, but not to start.”
