Liverpool striker Alexander Isak is expected to return to full training this week after a long injury absence, according to reliable journalist Paul Joyce. Then, just as Isak looked to be finding his feet, he suffered a broken leg while scoring away to Tottenham in the Premier League just before Christmas.

He had been running on the grass before the current international break, but he is now going to make a significant step forward n his recovery. As mentioned, Isak hasn’t got going at all yet for Liverpool, but he is a special striker who has been lauded by so many in the past, not least Newcastle legend Alan Shearer: “His whole game is really, really top notch.

If you just watch how clever he is when he doesn’t get the first pass played in, he then goes behind a defender to come back in and bend his run to make sure that he is onside, then he can make a really clever finish.” While Isak is unlikely to find his best form between now and the end of the season, given the severity of his injury, he will hopefully still be able to make a big impact. The dream scenario is that he replicates Djibril Cisse from back in 2004/25, with the Frenchman breaking his leg earlier in the season, before winning the Champions League and scoring a penalty in the shootout.
