Liverpool boss Arne Slot has delivered a major boost by confirming that Alexander Isak is edging closer to a long-awaited return to action.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s next fixture, Slot revealed that Isak has stepped up his recovery and is now back on the training pitch, raising hopes of an imminent comeback. While the Reds are still being cautious, the signs are encouraging, with the forward responding well to his rehabilitation programme.
Slot said the club will continue to monitor Isak’s progress closely before making a final decision on his match readiness, but admitted that his return is now “very close.” The update comes as a huge relief for Liverpool, who have missed Isak’s pace, movement, and clinical finishing during his absence.
If all goes to plan, the Swedish striker could be in contention for selection in the coming days — a timely boost as Liverpool push hard in the business end of the season.
