"Alexander Isak in Liverpool training, September 2025 (Image credit: Getty Images) Liverpool striker Alexander Isak could feature against Atletico Madrid in the Reds' Champions League opener. The Swedish international has been pictured in training for Arne Slot's side ahead of Atletico Madrid's visit to Anfield on Wednesday. Isak was not involved in the matchday squad over the weekend as Liverpool secured a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor."
"The Magpies' end-of-season defeat by Everton would be the last time Isak pulled on the black-and-white stripes, subsequently going on strike at St. James' Park in order to push through his eventual Liverpool move. As a consequence of the long-running transfer saga which was only resolved on deadline day, Isak's preparation for the new season has been disrupted, meaning his match fitness has been lacking somewhat."
Alexander Isak has been pictured training with Liverpool and could feature against Atletico Madrid in the Reds' Champions League opener at Anfield. He was absent from the matchday squad as Liverpool beat Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor. Isak last made a competitive club appearance in May for Newcastle United and went on strike at St. James' Park to push through his Liverpool move. The prolonged transfer saga was resolved on deadline day, disrupting his preseason and leaving his match fitness lacking. Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson limited him to 18 minutes during the international break. Open training participation suggests Isak is nearing a Liverpool debut. Curtis Jones is a doubt after missing first-team pictures at the AXA Training Centre.
