Liverpool boss Arne Slot has finally lifted the lid on Alexander Isak’s current fitness status as the Reds gear up for their crucial Premier League encounter with Manchester United at Anfield this weekend.Speaking during his pre-match press conference at the AXA Training Centre, Slot admitted that the Swedish striker is “almost at full sharpness” after several weeks of consistent training and match buildup.> “He’s had around five or six weeks of proper preparation, which is normal,” Slot explained. “Physically, he’s nearly where we want him to be, so now we can start judging his performances fairly.”The Dutch manager also acknowledged the expectations surrounding Liverpool’s record signing:> “I know how this business works — if a striker plays twice and doesn’t score, people start talking. But I think his real pre-season ends now. He’s had good minutes in the last few games, so let’s see how he responds.”Isak himself recently gave an encouraging update while on international duty with Sweden, suggesting he’s fully ready to take on a larger role:> “If needed, I’m ready to play the full 90 minutes,” he said. “I’ve had more game time recently and feel much stronger than during the last international break.”Although Sweden’s defeat to Kosovo was disappointing, the sight of Liverpool’s £125 million star regaining his rhythm offers a major boost for Arne Slot’s side as they aim to maintain momentum in their title defence.With Hugo Ekitike also pressing for a start and Florian Wirtz finding his creative flow behind the forwards, Liverpool’s new attacking trio appears to be taking shape fast.This weekend’s showdown at Anfield could finally mark the moment fans see Isak unleashed at full capacity — and it couldn’t come at a better time. 💪🔴
