Liverpool head coach Arne Slot confirms British record signing Alexander Isak is ready to rejoin first-team training sessions this week.

Alexander Isak is scheduled to return to Liverpool training on Thursday, according to head coach Arne Slot. The Sweden international, who joined the club for a British record transfer fee, has been sidelined with an injury recently. Slot provided the update during a press conference at the AXA Training Centre ahead of upcoming fixtures, per Sky Sports.

Liverpool currently sit in the top half of the Premier League table as they prepare for the final stages of the 2025-26 season. Isak remains a central figure in the squad's attacking options. The medical staff will monitor his progress during the session before determining his availability for match selection, according to The Guardian.

Slot confirmed that the forward has completed his individual rehabilitation programme. The head coach noted that the squad is nearing full strength as several players return from the treatment room. Isak has scored consistently since moving to Anfield and his return provides a significant boost for the Merseyside club, per reports from The Athletic.
