"Isak has only managed 16 appearances for Liverpool having had to play catch up in terms of fitness and deal with some minor injuries before suffering a significant issue in December."
"The Sweden international was hurt in a tackle by Micky van de Ven when scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win over Tottenham, leading to surgery on an ankle injury which included a fibula fracture."
"Pressure is mounting on the Dutchman and his team after concerning recent performances were compounded by Saturday's humiliating 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals."
"Isak returned to team training last Thursday and worked with his team-mates on Tuesday morning before jetting off to France."
Alexander Isak has been included in Liverpool's squad for the Champions League quarterfinal against Paris Saint-Germain after a lengthy absence of 15 weeks. The 26-year-old forward struggled to meet expectations following his £125 million transfer from Newcastle, managing only 16 appearances due to fitness issues and injuries. His significant ankle injury, sustained during a match against Tottenham, required surgery. Isak's return is seen as a potential boost for Liverpool, who are under pressure after recent poor performances, including a heavy loss to Manchester City.
