Exciting news for Liverpool fans! Alexander Isak has been spotted training ahead of the Reds' highly-anticipated Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid. This could be the moment Isak finally steps onto the pitch for Liverpool after his record-breaking £125 million transfer from Newcastle United.

After being rested during Liverpool’s narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley, Isak focused on building his fitness due to missing a proper pre-season. Manager Arne Slot has dropped hints that we could see Isak make his debut on Wednesday evening, especially following his encouraging performance in training.

However, it’s not all good news. Curtis Jones will remain sidelined, having missed the match against Burnley due to an injury picked up during the previous win over Arsenal. His absence will be felt as Liverpool aims to tackle the Spanish giants.

In a bit of positive news, Alexis Mac Allister participated in training despite dealing with an ankle issue that forced him off early against Burnley. Young prospects like Rio Ngumoha, Trey Nyoni, and Jayden Danns also joined the session, proving that Liverpool's future looks promising.

Speaking about Isak's absence from the last game, Slot remarked, "He was doing recovery, he had a hard and tough session yesterday. We got him from Newcastle in a state where his pre-season is just starting now. He’s not ready for a grueling schedule yet, but we hope to get him at least 45 minutes soon."

As we gear up for this thrilling encounter, Isak's potential debut is stirring up excitement. Could this Swedish star lead Liverpool to victory against Atletico? Stay tuned!
