Arne Slott provided a worrying update on alexander isaac After the striker left at half time Liverpool beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1,
Liverpool snapped their four-game losing streak in a big way, with Isak’s strike-partner Hugo Ekitike starred against his former club At Deutsche Bank Park.
However, there was uncertainty over Isak’s replacement, who saw some good chances wasted in the first half.
Slot has now confirmed that the Swedish international was taken off the field as a precaution after feeling something in his groin.
“He had to go out at half-time because he was feeling a little pain in his back,” he said. “We have said many times that it is very difficult to balance with a player who is out for three months.
“You bring him on slowly, people debate whether you can feed him more or not, and now we’ve played him for the second time in three days and he’s had to go out, so let’s hope for the best.
“It’s not easy to find this balance.”
Isak has endured a checkered start to life at Liverpool following his £125million transfer, struggling to regain momentum after spending the entire summer on strike trying to force a move away from Newcastle.
Slot said before the Liverpool meeting Manchester United Last weekend Isaac was reaching the end of his “pre-season” and now it is time to judge the striker who guaranteed a British record transfer fee on deadline day.
However, Slott has not confirmed whether he will be fit to face Brentford on Saturday, and he could be sent to the sidelines.
