Liverpool's Alexander Isak on the brink of his debut, as Arne Slot makes a training call before Atletico Madrid's visit
Alexander Isak, the Swedish international striker, has been training with Liverpool ahead of the Champions League opener against Atlético Madrid, as he edges closer to making his debut for the Reds.
Isak's last competitive game was an end-of-season defeat by Everton while he was still at Newcastle United. Since then, he has not made a competitive club appearance, with his match fitness showing some signs of disruption due to the long-running transfer saga.
Jon Dahl Tomasson, Sweden boss, restricted Isak to 18 minutes from the bench during September's international break. Liverpool, however, applauded Tomasson's gesture upon Isak's return, as they hope his arrival can help them score earlier in games rather than relying on late winners.
Isak's participation in open training on Tuesday indicates he is getting closer to a Liverpool debut. However, the search results do not provide information about who saw him before the training session prior to his possible debut against Atlético Madrid.
Curtis Jones, a key midfielder for Liverpool, is a doubt for the Atlético Madrid game due to not being pictured with the first-team group at the AXA Training Centre. His participation in the match is uncertain, which could potentially open up more opportunities for Isak to make his debut.
If Isak does not debut against Atlético Madrid, his Liverpool debut could potentially be against Everton on Saturday afternoon. The striker went on strike at St. James' Park to push through his move to Liverpool, and fans are eagerly waiting to see him in action for the Reds.
It remains to be seen whether Isak will make his Liverpool debut against Atlético Madrid or if he will have to wait for the match against Everton. Regardless, the striker's arrival at Anfield has generated excitement among fans, who are hoping to see him contribute to the team's offensive prowess.
