Alexander Isak

Isak featured 30 minutes in Saturday's 4-1 defeat against Switzerland for the first time since his return from a groin injury and felt good after the game, he said to the media, according to the Liverpool Echo. "It was about half an hour. It felt okay. I feel like the reaction was good after the match in my body. Hopefully I can play properly in the next match (against Slovenia on Tuesday). It's always frustrating when you're injured. Regardless of whether it's one match or more. It's always worst for the player himself. It hasn't been optimal. But when I'm on the field, I don't give myself any excuses. I always want to play my game and perform."

Isak (groin) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Isak (groin) is expected to train with the team on Friday after three weeks out and will be a late call for Sunday's clash against Manchester City, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "He will train for the first time today with the team again, after being three weeks out. I know that I said three weeks ago that his pre-season has ended so now it's time for us to see where he is. But I have to come back to those words, because if you are three weeks only with the rehab, that doesn't bring you back to the levels he was three weeks ago. Although, our rehab team is doing an incredible job. But you cannot compare rehab with games of football or training sessions with the team. As much as we try to replicate it, that's simply not possible. So, again I have to say, give him some time."

Isak (groin) is out for Tuesday's match against Real Madrid, according to manager Arne Slot. "[Alex is] not available for tomorrow. With Alex, we have to wait and see. Definitely not starting on Sunday, but maybe he can be involved in the squad. He is still not training with the team, so we have to wait and see."

Isak (groin) is very unlikely to be available for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference. "Isak didn't train yet. 99.9% not in the squad."
