Alexander Isak returns to Liverpool squad for PSG quarter final

• Alexander Isak included in Liverpool squad after 15 week absence
• Forward returns ahead of Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain
• Comeback offers boost for Arne Slot following recent defeat

Alexander Isak has been named in the Liverpool squad for the Champions League quarter final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain after a prolonged injury absence.

The striker has been sidelined for 15 weeks following ankle surgery, which included a fibula fracture sustained during a match against Tottenham Hotspur in December. The injury occurred after a challenge from Micky van de Ven.

Isak has made 16 appearances since joining Liverpool from Newcastle United, with his season disrupted by fitness issues and minor injuries prior to the setback. His return provides an additional attacking option for the squad ahead of a key European fixture.

Arne Slot has overseen the forward’s gradual return to training, with Isak rejoining team sessions last week before travelling with the squad to France.

Liverpool approach the match following a 4-0 defeat against Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-final. The result has increased scrutiny on recent performances as the team prepares for a decisive stage in European competition.

Isak’s inclusion in the matchday squad offers a potential boost as Liverpool seek to regain form against Paris Saint Germain.
