Fit for bench
Isak (ankle) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.
Analysis: Isak is back in the squad Sunday and on the bench as expected, fit for a return but not starting time. This is a major return not just for the club but for the sport, as the massive and expensive summer signing is finally fit again after over three months out. Even when he was previously fit, his start with Liverpool has not been easy, recording two goals in 10 appearances (six starts) while being outplayed by fellow forward Hugo Ekitike.
Traveling for UCL play
Isak (ankle) is in the traveling squad for Wednesday's match against PSG and is an option for minutes, according to manager Arne Slot, per James Pearce of The Athletic. "He's finished close to a week of team training sessions, so he can play a part. We think we can get a performance out of him, but not to start."
Analysis: Isak is still eyeing a return Wednesday as his chance to make that happen continues to rise, with the forward now traveling with the team. This is major news for the Swedish forward and his club, as the mega summer-signing has not played since December due to the injury. His prospects of seeing the field Wednesday are still up in the air, not an option to start immediately, but having a chance of featuring off the bench later in the match if the flow of the game allows him to.
