Sweden striker missed pre-season training at Newcastle
Arne Slot says Isak is at full fitness ahead of United clash
Arne Slot has said Alexander Isak is ready to showcase the qualities that made him Britain’s most expensive footballer.
Isak’s low-key start to life at Liverpool has been attributed to him missing the majority of pre-season training with Newcastle while he forced through a record £125m transfer to Anfield. Seven weeks after joining the Premier League champions, however, and having played the entirety of Sweden’s two recent World Cup qualifiers, Slot believes match fitness is no longer an issue for a striker who aims to kickstart his Liverpool career against Manchester United on Sunday.
“Fitness-wise he is close to the level he should be and we can judge him in a fair way from now on,” said the Liverpool head coach.
