Isak return timeline revealed after another injury setback
There are moments after a defeat where attention quickly turns to what could have been different, and for us at Old Trafford, the absence of key attacking players was impossible to ignore.
One of those was Alexander Isak, whose continued injury issues have meant we still haven’t truly seen what our record signing can do over a sustained period.

Speaking via Liverpoolfc.com after the defeat, Arne Slot offered a clear update on the Sweden international’s situation, and it’s far more positive than many might have feared.
“We’re expecting him to be back very soon. But you saw the second half, so there’s no excuse. I haven’t spoken about missing players [and] I’m not talking about it now.
“If you can play a second half as we did, there’s no necessity to have other players here. We were able, with this team, to have a chance of winning this game and we were quite close.
“But, as always, one moment of switching off immediately leads to us conceding a goal… so many times this season it was waiting for us to score one and then we conceded because we switched off for one or two seconds in a crucial moment.”
