Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has resumed full team training after recovering from a fractured fibula and ankle injury that sidelined him since December. The 26-year-old, who joined Liverpool in the summer, has been out for over three months but is now back training with the first team under manager Arne Slot. According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Isak is "expected to be called up this weekend and then against PSG." His return comes at a crucial time as Liverpool prepare for an FA Cup quarter-final clash against Manchester City and a Champions League last-16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. While Isak is likely to be named in the squad for the weekend fixture, he is expected to start from the bench as the club manages his fitness carefully. His availability for the PSG match offers Liverpool added attacking depth, with the Swedish forward likely to feature as a substitute as he works his way back to full match sharpness.
Isak's return to training after a three-month absence signals a timely boost for Liverpool's attacking options, especially with back-to-back high-stakes fixtures. While he may not start immediately, his potential impact off the bench against PSG could tilt the balance in a tightly contested tie. When Romano says Isak is expected to be called up, it means Slot already sees him as match-ready, even if not match-fit. That changes the equation — Liverpool now have a proven finisher who can influence games in short bursts when every moment counts.
