Isak named in Liverpool squad for PSG clash after long injury absence
Alexander Isak has been included in the Liverpool squad for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg at Paris Saint-Germain as the Sweden striker returns from a lengthy injury absence.
Isak has only made 16 appearances for Liverpool since his British record move from Newcastle last year after struggling with a series of fitness issues.
In December, Isak was injured in a tackle by Micky van de Ven while in the process scoring the opening goal in a 2-1 win against Tottenham, leading to surgery on an ankle injury which included a fibula fracture.
After 15 weeks on the sidelines, the 26-year-old is finally ready to feature in a Liverpool squad again.
"Alexander Isak is among the players that departed John Lennon Airport for Paris this afternoon, ahead of Wednesday night's quarter-final first leg at Parc des Princes," Liverpool said on their website.
Isak returned to group training last Thursday and worked with his team-mates on Tuesday morning before jetting off to France.
Isak's absence has been keenly felt and his place in the 21-man squad for the trip to Paris could be a major boost for Arne Slot's spluttering side.
Pressure is mounting on Slot and his team after Saturday's dismal 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Liverpool are languishing in fifth place in the Premier League and the Champions League is their last hope of silverware this season.
The Reds were knocked out of the Champions League on penalties by PSG in the last-16 in 2025.
