Liverpool’s injury situation is slowly beginning to improve, and there is finally some clarity regarding when Alexander Isak could be back in action for the Reds.

According to reporting from of , the Swedish forward is aiming to return toward the end of next month as he continues his recovery from the leg and ankle injury that has sidelined him.

That potential timeline could prove significant, especially with a demanding run of fixtures ahead, including a Premier League trip to . With the schedule tightening and Liverpool pushing to climb the table, Arne Slot will be eager to welcome his record signing back into contention.

Slot Provides Update on Isak’s Progress

While the manager has been cautious about setting an exact comeback date, he confirmed that progress is being made.

Isak has returned to the training pitch for light work, beginning with running sessions. However, Slot stressed that several stages still remain before the striker can be considered match-ready.

The next phase involves ball work, followed by rejoining full team sessions. Only after that will the focus shift to building match sharpness.

The expectation, if recovery continues without complications, is that Isak could re-enter full training around the March international break, making late March or early April a realistic target for competitive action.

Importantly, Slot remains confident that the 26-year-old will feature again before the season concludes — provided everything goes to plan.

A Frustrating Start to Life at Anfield

Isak’s first campaign at Liverpool has been disrupted from the beginning. A shortened pre-season limited his preparation, and just as he was settling into the squad, the serious injury in December halted his momentum completely.

That lack of rhythm has made it difficult for him to consistently showcase his full quality. Still, in limited minutes, he has contributed with a handful of goals and assists — including finding the net in his final appearance before the setback.

Inside the club, there is a strong belief that supporters have not yet seen the best version of the striker. The hope is that once fully fit, he will have the opportunity to deliver consistently over the remainder of this season and beyond.

For now, the focus shifts from waiting on medical updates to carefully managing his reintegration — a sign that the return is getting closer.
