Arne Slot Expects Alexander Isak to Rejoin Training Late March or Early April

Liverpool plan a phased return that prioritizes long‑term fitness over instant starts.

Overview

  • Paul Joyce reports Liverpool are targeting the March international break for Isak’s return to team training, with early April viewed as realistic if progress continues.
  • Slot says Isak has resumed on‑pitch running in recent days and will move to ball work before rejoining group sessions.
  • The manager outlines a step‑by‑step pathway, stressing that group involvement will precede any match readiness by some time.
  • Isak suffered a broken leg and ankle at Tottenham in December and underwent surgery before Christmas, including repair of a fibula fracture.
  • With Hugo Ekitike carrying the workload up front, Liverpool view Isak’s comeback as added rotation after a stop‑start season that has yielded three goals and one assist in limited minutes.
