LONDON-(MaraviPost)-Liverpool fans are buzzing with excitement as Alexander Isak is set to return to team training on Thursday, according to manager Arne Slot.

The Swedish striker has been sidelined for over three months after suffering a fractured fibula and ankle injury during a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur in December.

Isak’s return to training is a major boost for Liverpool, who have been struggling to find their attacking rhythm without their star striker.

The 26-year-old has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and is expected to be available for selection soon.

Isak’s injury came at a harsh time for the striker, who was threatening to rediscover his goalscoring form at the time.

His absence has been deeply felt, with Liverpool managing just three goals and one assist in his 16 appearances before his injury.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Isak is “getting closer” to a return to first-team training, but warned that the striker still has some way to go before he’s match-ready.

“Alex isn’t available for tomorrow, but the fact that you see him on the pitch tells you that he is getting closer and closer to joining us again,” Slot said.

Isak’s return is likely to be a welcome relief for Liverpool, who face a tough run of games in the coming weeks, including a Champions League quarter-final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

The striker’s presence, movement, and ability to stretch defenses have been missed, and his return could add a new dimension to the team’s attacking play.

As Isak prepares to make his comeback, Liverpool fans will be hoping that he can hit the ground running and make a significant impact in the remaining games of the season.

With his impressive track record and undeniable talent, Isak is sure to be a key player in Liverpool’s push for Champions League qualification.
