Overview

• Isak was not included in the matchday squad at Turf Moor, so his Liverpool debut did not happen against Burnley.
• Manager Arne Slot said the plan is to integrate him gradually and have him available for Wednesday’s Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.
• Slot noted Isak missed proper team training over the summer and only played briefly for Sweden, though he has trained with Liverpool this week.
• Liverpool named an unchanged XI from the win over Arsenal, with Hugo Ekitike leading the attack on the back of a strong start to the season.
• The £125m British‑record signing arrives as Liverpool navigate a congested run of fixtures that limits full-team training time.
