Liverpool have received a significant but somewhat confusing boost ahead of their Champions League clash, as Alexander Isak has travelled with the squad but is not expected to start.
The high-profile striker, who has been dealing with fitness issues, was included in the traveling squad, raising initial optimism among fans. However, Arne Slot later confirmed that while Isak is fit enough to be involved, he is not ready to start such a high-intensity game.
This decision has sparked debate among supporters, with many questioning why he was brought along if he cannot play a major role. Some believe it signals desperation from the coaching staff, while others see it as a cautious step toward his full return.
With Liverpool facing one of the toughest challenges of their season, the absence of a fully fit Isak in the starting lineup could prove costly. The team’s attacking options will now come under even greater scrutiny as they prepare to face a formidable PSG side.
The situation highlights the growing pressure on Slot, who must balance risk and performance at a critical stage of the campaign.
