There is growing optimism that Alexander Isak could be back in action soon, with the striker nearing a return after fracturing his leg back in December.
Isak has been out since the injury sustained at Tottenham, a major blow given his importance to Liverpool F.C. and their attacking options. However, there is now positive news, with the forward expected to resume full team training this week.
Weekend Return Possible — But PSG More Likely
While there is a chance Isak could be available for the first time this weekend, the more realistic target appears to be the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain F.C..
That game represents a huge moment in Liverpool’s season, and having a player of Isak’s quality available — even if only from the bench — could provide a significant boost.
Liverpool are likely to be cautious with his return, especially after such a serious injury. Bringing him back too early could risk another setback, so it would make sense to target the PSG game as a safer and more controlled comeback.
A Huge Boost for Liverpool
If Isak is fit and ready, it gives Liverpool a completely different attacking dimension. His pace, movement and finishing ability have been badly missed during his absence, particularly in tight games where Liverpool have struggled to break teams down.
With a huge week ahead — including domestic and European fixtures — his return could not come at a better time.
Perfect Timing for the Season Run-In
The timing of Isak’s return could be crucial. Getting him back just as Liverpool enter a defining period of the season gives the squad a lift and provides more options in attack.
Even if he doesn’t start immediately, having him back involved in the squad will be a major positive — and something Liverpool fans will be watching closely in the coming days.
