Since then, his season has stalled. Supporters have been left wondering what could have been.

Arne Slot has confirmed that Isak is nearing a return, with the Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain in focus. If you want to have the player who played exactly a year ago against us in the Carabao Cup final – and was too good for us on that day – then I would tell you I have my doubts about that after seven or eight months out.” Slot made it clear that Isak will not return as a starter immediately.

“But I expect that I can use him for minutes.” “Exactly what I get from that I cannot tell you because he hasn’t trained with the team even once.” “He still is not able to train with the team and he hasn’t been able to train with the team and usual rehab is before you start to train with the team and then you play games.” “You don’t, after one training session, play 45 minutes or 90 minutes.” Still, there is long-term optimism. “It is 100% sure fans will see the best of him next season and we are trying to make sure that we will see close to the best or the best of him this season.” “I am just as excited as the fans to have him back because I think it is fair to say that 90% of our games, we’ve had more chances than the other team, so if we had one of the best strikers in the world playing for you then that would have usually, usually, meant that you would have had more points.” For now, Liverpool fans will take any minutes they can get.
