Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has returned to full team training this week following a long injury layoff, raising hopes that he could feature in the squad for upcoming high-profile matches.
The 26-year-old had been sidelined since December after suffering a fractured fibula and ankle injury.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Thursday, “Alexander Isak returns in team training with the Liverpool squad this week after a long injury. He’s expected to be called up this weekend and then against PSG.”
Isak has been gradually working his way back to full fitness, and his return to group sessions under Arne Slot marks a significant milestone in his recovery.
While he may be included in the squad for this weekend’s FA Cup clash against Manchester City, Liverpool is likely to take a cautious approach, with Isak expected to start on the bench rather than in the starting XI.
The forward is, however, expected to be available for Liverpool’s crucial Champions League tie against PSG, potentially featuring as a substitute as he continues to regain match sharpness.
