"Arne Slot has shared a concerning update on Alexander Isak's injury recovery, and it appears Liverpool fans will have to wait much longer to see their record signing back in action. The Swedish international, who joined the Reds for a British-record 125 million last summer, has been sidelined since late December after suffering a fractured fibula against Tottenham. As Liverpool prepare to host Isak's former club, Newcastle United, at Anfield this Saturday, Slot confirmed that the striker remains far from a return to first-team training."
"He told the reporters: No, he is not on the pitch yet. He is just out of his walker, so that tells you he is not expected on the pitch today or tomorrow. It will take a while before he is back, which we knew about. The news comes as a blow to a Liverpool side looking to find their footing in 2026."
Alexander Isak sustained a fractured fibula against Tottenham in late December and has been sidelined since. He used a protective walking boot during the early rehabilitation phase and has recently progressed out of it, but he remains unfit for outdoor work and first-team training. Arne Slot confirmed Isak is not on the pitch and is not expected to return imminently, signaling a longer recovery than previously reported late-March estimates. Liverpool will face Newcastle without Isak, and Hugo Ekitike has alleviated the striker’s absence by scoring 13 goals across all competitions this season.
