Despite their desire to start the £125 million forward as soon as possible, Liverpool has apparently been informed that Alexander Isak may be many weeks away from full fitness.
The purchase of Isak was presented as a bold move by Liverpool to acquire a top-tier attacker with speed, finishing prowess, and the ability to control defenses.
Knowing the pressure the Swedish international would bear, the club paid a high price for him. However, the medical staff has advised prudence behind the scenes.
The warning implies that the reality may last longer than the desired timeline.
Alexander Isak is receiving patience from Liverpool.
Isak’s match fitness and capacity to return to his peak are the main causes for concern.
managed to score one goal for the Merseyside team in the Carabao Cup match against Southampton.
Even though he showed improvement and contributed an assist against Chelsea, he still needs more time to recover to full health.
Daily Mail reporter Lewis Steele said in his vlog:
“The road to full fitness is a little bit longer than expected, and there’s a report from one of the Newcastle guys, saying they expect it to be three months until he’s fully fit. And that is probably about right. He’s been at Liverpool now for four or five weeks, so maybe we are now probably another three or four weeks away from seeing Isak at his best. There have been glimpses, lovely assist on Saturday and he got his goal against Southampton, to be fair he’s got to score that, but he had to be in the right place at the right time. But, the road to full fitness does seem a bit bumpier than me or Slot predicted. But, as I said with Salah, if he gets a bit of confidence, it should be all good.”
