Alexander Isak has a new groin problem (Image credit: Getty Images) Liverpool's 125 million summer signing hasn't exactly hit the ground running at Anfield. Whilst the team bounced back from four straight defeats with a 5-1 shellacking of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Isak was restricted to a watching brief for the second half. The Swede had started the game alongside fellow big-money summer arrival Hugo Ekitike, who netted against his former club during the first 45 minutes.
Wissa looked superb for Brentford last season, and this led Newcastle to pay 55m to sign him this summer. However, the 29-year-old has clearly arrived with some fitness problems, and there is growing concern about when he could return to action. NUFC are likely to have to wait until after the October international break to have Wissa available for selection.
