Slot: Isak 'close to the level he should be'

"Now he's had his five/six weeks of preseason, which is normal with every player, especially if you've been our for three or four months,"

"Fitness wise, I think he's now close to the level he should be. I think we can judge him in a fair way from now on."

"I think his preseason may be finished now. He's played a few games, 70, 80, 90 minutes, so let's see where he is in the upcoming weeks."

Alexander Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle during the recent transfer window after a disrupted preseason caused by his desire to force a move away from St James' Park. He has played six games for Liverpool and recently reported for Sweden international duty. He completed five to six weeks of preseason, which is normal especially after months out, and his fitness is now close to the expected level. His preseason may be finished. He has already played 70, 80 and 90-minute stints in matches, and upcoming weeks will reveal his condition further.
