The team has been dealt a major blow ahead of their Champions League meeting with Real Madrid, as it has now been confirmed that Alexander Isak, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alisson Becker will all miss the game.
All three players were being monitored closely in recent days, but the club has officially stated that none of them are fit enough to be included in the squad.
Alisson Becker, still recovering from a muscle issue, was unable to complete full training and has been withdrawn from selection. His absence means the backup goalkeeper will start in one of the biggest matches of the season.
Jeremie Frimpong also remains sidelined after experiencing a setback during his recovery. The defender has been a key attacking threat from the flanks, and losing him removes a major source of speed and creativity.
Alexander Isak has likewise been ruled out as he continues to deal with a fitness concern. His goal-scoring form will be difficult to replace.
> Club update:
“All three players will miss the upcoming match and continue with their recovery schedule. The priority is to have them back as soon as possible.”
Their absence forces a significant reshuffle to the lineup and tactics, as Real Madrid arrive in strong form and full confidence.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
