Liverpool striker Alexander Isak is training under a personalised regimen at Sweden’s 2026 World Cup camp to manage his fitness. Liverpool spent £125m to sign Isak from Newcastle United last summer, but when he broke his leg in December, that investment and the season at large was put at risk.

Arne Slot and his coaching staff failed to get Isak up to speed for several months, with the striker breaking his leg against Spurs in December before he was fully fit. https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/2003220249634808088?s=20 He then spent the majority of the remainder of the season recovering, playing just 22 games for a total of 1,032 minutes. After paying so much for Isak, not to mention his £280,000 per week wage, Liverpool and FSG will be hoping they can see his best next season.
