National News – Alexander Isak has returned to full team training with Liverpool FC after months on the sidelines due to injury, boosting hopes that the Swedish striker could feature in upcoming crucial matches for the club.
The 26-year-old forward had been out of action since December after suffering a fractured fibula and ankle injury during a competitive fixture.
His absence left Liverpool without one of their key attacking options for several weeks of the season.
However, the striker resumed group training this week under manager Arne Slot, marking a major step in his recovery process.
Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed on Thursday that Isak has fully rejoined Liverpool’s training sessions and is now being considered for selection in upcoming matches.
According to reports, the club’s coaching staff are monitoring his fitness carefully before deciding how soon he will return to competitive action.
Isak could make his first matchday appearance since the injury in Liverpool’s upcoming FA Cup clash against Manchester City this weekend.
However, the club is expected to adopt a cautious approach by placing the striker on the bench rather than starting him immediately.
This strategy would allow him to regain match fitness gradually while reducing the risk of aggravating the injury.
Liverpool are also preparing for a crucial European fixture against Paris Saint‑Germain in the UEFA Champions League, where Isak’s return could prove valuable.
The forward is expected to be available for that match, potentially featuring as a substitute as he works toward full match sharpness.
Club officials believe the striker’s comeback could strengthen Liverpool’s attacking depth during a decisive stage of the season.
With several high-profile matches ahead in both domestic and European competitions, the team will rely on experienced players returning from injury to maintain their competitive edge.
Isak’s return is therefore seen as timely for Liverpool, as the club aims to sustain its momentum and compete strongly in multiple tournaments while managing player fitness carefully during the demanding run-in period.
