Slot: Isak returns to practice in the upcoming days

Alexander Isak will return to training with Liverpool, his manager Arne Slot revealed today.

The Reds paid 125 million pounds to Newcastle for the forward, but he has been sidelined since the end of 2025, having fractured his leg and undergone an ankle procedure.

The former Newcastle star has appeared in 16 games and scored 3 times for the club from Anfield before suffering injury vs. Spurs.

“I believe Isak is very happy, because his country qualified for the World Championship and he is joining his teammates for training for the 1^st time tomorrow,” Arne shared.

“If you did your best for 3, 4 months and then return to the group, that’s an amazing feeling for each footballer. So, because of that, Alexander is in good spirits.”
