Overview
- Isak has been out since December 20 with an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture sustained against Tottenham.
- Arne Slot says the forward is progressing but is most likely to be available only after the March international break.
- Graham Potter said he is keeping his fingers crossed and has not excluded selecting Isak for Sweden’s play-off versus Ukraine.
- Paul Joyce of The Times reports Isak is targeting a return at the end of March, which could position him for early April club minutes.
- Naming Isak before a Liverpool comeback could prompt club-country friction, with Sweden facing Ukraine on March 26 and a potential final on March 31 against Poland or Albania.
