Liverpool boss Slot says Isak in 'final stages of rehab'
FI
Home The British record signing has been sidelined since mid-December Liverpool manager Arne Slot said on Thursday he believes striker Alexander Isak is in the "final stages of rehab" and could return by the end of next month to bolster the Reds' push for Champions League qualification. The British record signing has been sidelined since mid-December when he fractured a bone in his lower leg and needed ankle surgery following a sliding tackle from Tottenham's Micky van de Ven. His injury came just as 26-year-old Sweden international Isak, who joined Premier League champions Liverpool for £125 million ($169 million) from top-flight rivals Newcastle in September, was finding his form at Anfield with two goals in six matches. "Alex has been on the pitch, not with his football boots but with his running shoes for the first time this week," Slot told reporters.
