Just weeks after completing a blockbuster £125 million move from Newcastle United, Alexander Isak has delivered news that has stunned Liverpool supporters. The Swedish forward, expected to lead the Reds’ attack in Arne Slot’s new era, admitted that his latest medical report has dealt him an emotional blow.
“I believed I’d be back in time to join the squad properly, but the doctor’s words today broke me. This isn’t good for my career,” Isak confessed, visibly shaken by the reality of his situation.
Liverpool fans had hoped that Isak’s sharp finishing and dynamic style would transform their frontline alongside Mohamed Salah. However, despite making a brief debut in the Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid, his recovery timeline has now been pushed back further than anticipated.
Manager Arne Slot has urged caution, making it clear that Isak will need more time before becoming a consistent feature in the squad. The club cannot afford to gamble with their record signing, especially after such a massive investment.
The setback leaves Liverpool with difficult questions: can Darwin Núñez and Cody Gakpo step up to cover the void, or will Salah once again be left to shoulder the attacking burden alone?
For Isak, the frustration is deeply personal. His switch to Anfield was supposed to be the defining moment of his career—a stage to shine at the very top. Instead, he now finds himself caught in a battle against time, fitness, and expectations.
Though fans remain excited about what the 25-year-old will eventually bring, the reality is sobering: Liverpool’s £125m man is not yet ready to deliver. The wait continues, and so does the pressure.
