Alexander Isak (Liverpool)
September 2025
Liverpool’s record £125m signing Alexander Isak won’t start against Burnley, per Joe Cole. After forcing his move from Newcastle, the Swede lacks match fitness, having skipped his former club’s early fixtures, and is expected to be eased in. Cole stressed Liverpool’s smart approach, noting Hugo Ekitike’s strong form means there’s no rush. Isak will likely debut off the bench, gradually settling before leading the line in Klopp’s system. Fans must wait slightly longer for his full arrival.
