US EditionArne Slot Explains Plan for Alexander Isak After Having to Leave Liverpool Striker Out vs Burnley - Liverpool Echo
Alexander Isak was excluded from Liverpool's Burnley matchday squad as manager Arne Slot opts for the winning lineup; Isak missed preseason and will be integrated gradually.
- Ahead of the Premier League fixture at Turf Moor on September 14, 2025, Alexander Isak was excluded from Liverpool’s matchday squad by manager Arne Slot.
- Slot revealed that Isak, who transferred to Liverpool for £125 million earlier this month just before the transfer window closed, is still working towards full match fitness.
- Isak played only limited minutes for Sweden in recent World Cup qualifiers and missed proper pre-season and team training at Newcastle, causing fitness concerns.
- Slot explained that typically, during pre-season, players gradually increase their playing time and may feature for around 45 to 60 minutes after a week or two of training. However, with Liverpool facing three matches within a single week, there is very limited opportunity for proper training sessions to allow such a gradual build-up.
- Slot indicated Isak is likely to make his debut in Liverpool's upcoming matches after this cautious build-up, as the Burnley game came too soon for full involvement.
