Isak Boost for Liverpool Ahead of PSG Clash
21 Mar
Summary
- Isak is set to be available for Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final.
- The striker has been sidelined since late December with a fractured leg.
- He is not fit enough to start but may feature from the bench.
Alexander Isak is confirmed to be available for Liverpool's Champions League quarter-final first leg against PSG, scheduled for April 8. The forward has been unavailable since late December after suffering a fractured leg and has not yet returned to full team training.
While Isak will not be match-fit to start the game at Parc des Princes, his inclusion on the bench provides a substantial tactical advantage. The former Newcastle player missed a significant portion of the season's middle period, but his recovery timeline indicates he is expected to play a key role in the campaign's final stages.
Manager Slot indicated that Isak would be available but cautioned about his match readiness, stating, "If you want to have the player who played exactly a year ago against us... then I would tell you I have my doubts." He expects Isak to be available for "minutes." Slot also noted the difficulty in assessing Isak's readiness without team training and mentioned squad availability issues due to recent recovery protocols for other players.
