Arne Slot explains Alexander Isak plan as £125m man makes Liverpool return
Arne Slot said the £125 million striker is not ready to start after 101 days out, though he could make the bench for the FA Cup tie.
- On Friday, Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed striker Alexander Isak has returned to training after 101 days sidelined, though he will not start Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City.
- The £125m striker has been sidelined since December 20 after suffering a broken leg and ankle injury while playing at Tottenham Hotspur.
- After only two training sessions, Slot urged caution, noting the match could require extra time and starting the forward would not make sense at this stage.
- Alongside the positive return of Mohamed Salah, Slot revealed first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker will remain sidelined with a hamstring injury until season's end, missing upcoming Paris Saint-Germain fixtures.
- Liverpool faces a demanding schedule navigating the FA Cup, Champions League quarter-finals against PSG, and Premier League matches against Manchester United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
