Liverpool supervisor Arne Slot has equipped an replace on Alexander Isak’s state of affairs because the Sweden world has struggled for health and shape since his giant transfer to Anfield in the summertime.
Isak was once an international elegance performer at former membership Newcastle United, prompting Liverpool to pay a British switch document rate for him on the finish of the window.
As showed through BBC Recreation‘s report at the time, Isak cost Liverpool £125m to sign from Newcastle, so that inevitably would bring huge expectations.
So far, Isak has just one goal in six appearances for the Reds, but Slot has discussed his slow start after he also failed to score in either game for Sweden during the international break.

Speaking in his press conference today, Slot said Isak has taken some time to get to full fitness as he arrived at LFC without a pre-season.
Now that he’s had a couple of extra video games in the previous few weeks, he may in the end be as much as the place the membership needs him to be, in keeping with the Dutch tactician.

“I think now he’s had his five-six weeks of pre-season, which is normal for every player, especially if you’ve been out for three or four months,” Slot mentioned.
“So, fitness-wise, I believe he’s now just about the extent … and now we will pass judgement on him in a good approach.

“I know how this industry works, if he plays twice and doesn’t score, that’s not what you’re hoping for of course, of course if they’re going to the national team you hope they score like Cody (Gakpo) did, like Virgil (Van Dijk) did, like Dominik (Szoboszlai) did, like (Alexis) Mac Allister did…did I forget a few? Probably…
“But he (Isak) didn’t, but I think his pre-season finished now he’s played a few games, 70, 80, 90 minutes, so let’s see where he is in the upcoming weeks.”
