Overview
- Sweden coach Graham Potter left Alexander Isak out of the March World Cup playoff squad, turning instead to Viktor Gyokeres and Gustaf Nilsson up front.
- Arne Slot said Isak should be available to face Paris Saint‑Germain on April 8 but only for limited minutes, noting the striker has not yet trained with the team.
- The Liverpool manager does not expect Isak to feature against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final on April 4.
- Isak has progressed to outdoor running at the AXA Training Centre and will remain at Liverpool during the international window to continue rehabilitation.
- Slot cautioned that Liverpool are likelier to see Isak at his peak next season, as Goal reported a dead leg for Hugo Ekitike against Brighton that the manager downplayed.
