Overview
- Arne Slot said he does not expect Alexander Isak to join Sweden for the late‑March internationals or feature for Liverpool before the break.
- A tentative return at the beginning of April is the current target, with Slot warning the striker will not be at peak level immediately.
- Isak remains with Liverpool’s rehabilitation staff and has not trained with the first team for roughly three and a half months.
- Liverpool have leaned on Hugo Ekitike as their only senior centre forward during Isak’s absence.
- Isak’s layoff stems from a broken leg suffered while scoring at Tottenham in December, and Slot noted wider injuries have stretched a small core through a congested schedule.
