"There's definitely a chance because he's in the squad and has the chance to play. I would usually say I'm 99.9% sure, but I can say it's 100% sure he will not play 90 minutes. But he's part of the squad. The only thing we're sure of is he will not play 90. It's already a Champions League game to look forward to, but if people are looking forward to his playing time, that could happen tomorrow as well."
"He's made a very good impression, he's very eager. Obviously, he's been showing his quality already, since the first session,"
"There are only positives. Off the pitch as well, we're having conversations - I spoke to him during the international break once everything was sorted."
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool in a British-record deal worth up to £130m on deadline day after a lengthy transfer. He missed Newcastle's pre-season and did not feature in Liverpool's Burnley matchday squad, but he could be involved in the Champions League opener against Atletico Madrid. Manager Arne Slot confirmed Isak is in the squad but will not play 90 minutes. Isak scored 54 Premier League goals since 2022, averaging a goal every 121 minutes and ranking third for shot conversion among players with 20 goals. Captain Virgil van Dijk praised Isak's training impact and eagerness.
