Arne Slot pleads for patience with Alexander Isak in cautious injury update
Liverpool boss Arne Slot issues fresh Alexander Isak plea ahead of Man City clash
- Arne Slot has requested further patience with Alexander Isak, stating the striker is still "some time" away from his best form despite being ready to rejoin training.
- Slot reversed his earlier assessment that Isak had completed a full pre-season, acknowledging that a recent groin injury sustained against Frankfurt has set back his progress.
- Isak, who has scored only one goal since his British record transfer, will train with the team ahead of Liverpool's match against Manchester City.
- Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's other £100m signing, is beginning to find his form, delivering his best performance from a wide-left position against Real Madrid.
- Slot clarified that Wirtz is versatile and can play multiple attacking roles, emphasising the importance of getting him into positions near the 18-yard box to create chances.
