Alexander Isak has been named in Liverpool's squad for their Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain in Paris on Wednesday. The striker reportedly suffered a leg fracture in December and has not played since. Liverpool's manager Arne Slot said that Isak was very close to returning to play, but the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City over the weekend came "too early" for him.
According to reports, Slot hoped to have Isak available for the Champions League match, and the player was among the 21-man squad that flew from John Lennon Airport to Paris. It remains to be seen if Isak will make a comeback in the match.
