Liverpool boss Arne Slot believes Alexander Isak is far from ready to play three games in a week
Transcript
00:00No, he did recovery, but he got a hard and tough session yesterday.
00:04So I can explain to you, but it's going to take a few minutes.
00:06But it's not that difficult to understand.
00:10So if you start the season when players have been off for three or four or five weeks,
00:14you give them a certain base, so you give them a lot of good sessions
00:17before they are able, in the end of the week, to play 45 minutes.
00:21We got him from Newcastle in a state where you could say his preseason is going to start now.
00:30So then he needs proper minutes of training before he has a certain base,
00:34let alone for him to play twice in three days.
00:38So we are, that's what we do, we try to prepare players for in the beginning of the season once a week
00:44and then we try to do more and more and more before we go into the rhythm of two games a week
00:48so that they are ready for that schedule.
00:52Now Alex is far from ready for that schedule of three games in a week, 90 minutes.
