I Hope Isak Won’t Be Out For Many Weeks – Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has said that he hopes Alexander Isak won’t be out for a few weeks. He recently admitted concerns over the £125 million ($167 million) forward’s fitness following a groin injury during Wednesday’s 5-1 Champions League win against Eintracht Frankfurt.

According to him, for a player who has struggled for form due to his lack of preseason, it’ll be bad for the striker to be on the sidelines for many more weeks.

Slot added that he can only hope Isak’s groin injury wouldn’t keep him out for too long.

His words, “Alex had to go off at halftime and that’s not something you ask for.

He felt his groin, so let’s hope it’s not too bad.

I’m hoping that this doesn’t have to be that bad because if he would be out now for a few weeks, that would throw him back or put him back. I don’t know how to say it.

But it’s the difficult balance we were having with him. When he came, he hardly had trained.

You try to prepare players for once-a-week football, but if you are Liverpool and you play every three days, or normally three times in eight days, then you try to prepare them for that program, which is not always so easy if you don’t have preseason. So that’s what we tried to do.

He missed out on preseason and didn’t train for a long time with the team.”

WOW.

Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.

Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.

The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.

Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
