Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, announced plans to integrate their record signing, Alexander Isak, into the team cautiously following a heavily disrupted start to the season.
Acquired for USD 170 million on September 1, Isak had little preseason training due to ongoing transfer negotiations with Liverpool. Expected to make his debut in a reduced capacity from the bench on Sunday against Burnley, Isak's fitness will be prioritized over full match participation in the coming weeks.
Slot praised Sweden's coach, Jon Dahl Tomasson, for managing Isak's workload during recent international games, ensuring his well-being. Concurrently, Liverpool's missed chances in signing Marc Guehi highlight the Reds' ongoing strategies in player management and acquisition.
