Alexander Isak “Will Be Able to Play 45 Minutes” vs. Atletico MadridLiverpool’s record signing Alexander Isak, sidelined during pre-season, is nearing match fitness. Manager Arne Slot confirmed Isak’s availability for 45 minutes against Atletico Madrid in Wednesday’s Champions League opener. A gradual integration is planned, prioritizing long-term fitness over rushing the striker back after his £125M Newcastle transfer. New signing Hugo Ekitike’s strong start provides lineup flexibility.
