Overview

• Manager Arne Slot praised Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson for limiting Isak’s international minutes and said Liverpool will manage his workload carefully.
• Isak has logged only about 20 minutes of competitive action this season, all in a brief appearance for Sweden against Kosovo.
• The 25-year-old trained with his new team-mates this week and is expected to feature from the bench at Turf Moor.
• Liverpool paid a British-record £125 million fee, with reports of a four-year contract worth roughly £300,000 per week.
• His Newcastle exit grew tense after training separately and a critical statement, though defender Dan Burn said Isak’s farewell in the squad chat drew supportive replies.
