That's why Isak didn't play - too early

Head coach Arne Slot hinted to Liverpool fans that Alexander Isak could make a comeback on Saturday. The Swede was not allowed to do so. It was too early, Slot told TNT Sport.

This week, Slot announced that Alexander Isak might play "a couple of minutes" in Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final. It all ended with Isak not in the squad and a 0-4 loss in Saturday's big game against Manchester City.

"We came to the conclusion that it was better for him to get a few more training sessions instead of just one or two," Slot told TNT Sport.

The Swedish national team striker has been out of action since December after a broken leg.

"I hope he is available on Wednesday, but today simply came too early for him," Slot said.

On Wednesday, Liverpool plays against Paris SG in the Champions League.
