Liverpool News: Isak's Fitness, Jones Injured, and Slot's Plans

Liverpool fans, here's the latest scoop from Anfield! New signing Alexander Isak won't be rushed into the starting XI, according to manager Arne Slot. Isak, who arrived on deadline day, is still building up his fitness after missing a significant portion of pre-season training.

Isak's Gradual Integration

Slot emphasized the importance of managing Isak's minutes carefully. "Don't expect him every single game 90 minutes on the pitch – that's definitely not going to happen in the upcoming weeks," Slot stated. He highlighted that Isak missed three to four months of team sessions and needs to be gradually integrated into the squad to avoid injury.

Jones Ruled Out, Frimpong Returns

In other news, Curtis Jones will miss the Burnley match due to an injury sustained in Liverpool's last game. "Curtis Jones, of course, I don't know if you knew, but he got injured in the last game, so he will not be available for the game against Burnley," Slot confirmed.

However, there's good news too! Jeremie Frimpong has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring issue that kept him out of the Newcastle United and Arsenal matches. The rest of the squad has returned without any problems.

Slot on Missing Out on Guehi

Slot also addressed Liverpool's failed attempt to sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. While he didn't go into specifics, he acknowledged that Guehi was a target. The focus now is on integrating Isak and ensuring the squad is ready for the challenges ahead.

Liverpool supporters will be eager to see how Isak is integrated into the team and how the squad performs against Burnley. Stay tuned for more updates!
