"Isak went on a strike to force a move to Liverpool from Newcastle United and during the pre-season as well as the start of the season, he did not feature for the Magpies, leaving him short of match fitness. Alexander Isak is not fully fit at the moment Isak was an unused substitute for Sweden in their World Cup qualifier against Slovenia on Friday."
"There is encouraging collaboration between Sweden's and Liverpool's medical staffs. Open lines of communication ensure his return is managed with precision and patience. Isak appears poised to make his Liverpool debut following the international break. His name is expected to feature in the matchday squad as Liverpool take on Burnley in the Premier League, followed by a crucial Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid at Anfield and a Merseyside derby with Everton."
Liverpool completed a British-transfer-record signing of Alexander Isak for around 125 million, but he has not featured all summer and lacks match fitness. Isak refused to play for Newcastle and missed pre-season and early-season minutes, leaving him short of playing time and sharpness. He was an unused substitute for Sweden in a World Cup qualifier and has completed only three training sessions with the national team. Sweden's manager and Liverpool’s medical staff are coordinating closely and using sports science to manage a careful, phased return, with a debut likely after the international break.
