Isak set to resume Liverpool training
Alexander Isak will return to full team training this week, according to Arne Slot.
The Liverpool FC striker has been out of action for more than three months after suffering a leg fracture and undergoing ankle surgery.
Return after injury
Isak has not played since December after picking up the injury during a match against Tottenham Hotspur. The Sweden international had made 16 appearances and scored three goals before being sidelined.
Slot confirmed that the 26-year-old will join the squad in training on Thursday, marking an important step in his recovery after months of rehabilitation.
The Liverpool manager said the striker is in a “good place” after working hard to return to fitness and that returning to group training will be a positive moment for both the player and the team.
Big-money signing
Liverpool signed Isak from Newcastle United for a British-record transfer fee of ÂŁ125m in September.
The forward sustained the injury when he fractured his fibula following a challenge from Micky van de Ven while scoring in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Tottenham on 20 December.
Next match
Liverpool are now preparing for their FA Cup quarter-final clash against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
