Liverpool have released new training photos from the AXA Training Centre ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City — and one detail will delight every supporter: Alexander Isak is back, smiling and training with the squad.
The gallery, posted on Liverpoolfc.com, shows Isak fully involved with the team after spending three weeks sidelined through injury. The striker was seen working both in the gym and outside on the pitch, sharp and clearly thrilled to be back among his teammates. It’s a massive lift for the club and supporters alike.
Since arriving at Anfield, our record signing has endured an inconsistent start — eight appearances so far, with one goal (against Southampton in the Carabao Cup) and one assist (versus Chelsea in the Premier League). But his comeback couldn’t be better timed as Liverpool chase a third consecutive win across all competitions.
The photos captured the 26-year-old beaming throughout the session. Exactly the kind of positive energy the squad needs heading into the weekend.
Arne Slot had already mentioned in his pre-match press conference that the striker would return to training, saying:
“He will train with the team today for the first time after being out for three weeks… give him some time.”
A huge boost ahead of Manchester City
Even if he isn’t fully sharp yet, having our No.9 available again changes everything. His presence alone forces the opposition to take notice.
There’s been mounting pressure on the Swede after a slow start. Ian Wright recently said Isak “has to perform because the guy who’s playing [Ekitike] is actually delivering.”
Roy Keane, however, stayed optimistic: “I still think he’ll come good for them.”
Now, back working with the team and smiling again, it finally feels like that turning point is arriving.
Sometimes football isn’t just about statistics or tactics — it’s seeing a confident striker back in red, ready to make an impact.
