Liverpool boss Arne Slot explains Alexander Isak's return plan, confirming that he's still not fit to start.
Transcript
00:00It will definitely be too fast to expect him in the starting line-up.
00:05He's trained with us yesterday for the first time and today for the second time after exactly 101 days.
00:12I know this because it was told to me.
00:18So yeah, it will take a bit of time to give him a lot of minutes,
00:24but we will make sure we do the right thing in terms of building him up in minutes.
00:28But it's a very good thing to have him on the training ground.
00:32Again, it would be even a better thing to have him available for games, that's for sure.
00:36You can even be at the bench if you haven't trained,
00:39but the question is, is he ready to play some minutes?
00:42That's another question.
00:45It's a difficult one because we don't play a normal game.
00:50What I mean is that it could go to extra time.
00:52So that makes it even more complicated if you bring him in,
00:55if we think he can only play 10 minutes, if we already think this,
00:59and you bring him in 10 minutes before the end and then you go to extra time.
01:02Of course, you can take him off again if we have enough players available to bring another player in.
01:11So yeah, maybe a few minutes, but let's wait and see how it is with him today,
01:19how he feels about it himself.
01:20And it's clear that after two training sessions, after 100 days,
01:24it would not make any sense to start him tomorrow.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Yeah.
01:29while there's much better for the nylon department matters.
