Liverpool have released new training photos from the AXA Centre ahead of Sunday\u2019s Premier League clash with Manchester City \u2014 and there\u2019s one image that will delight every fan.<\/p>\n
Alexander Isak was pictured back in full training and smiling again after three weeks out injured. The pictures, shared on Liverpoolfc.com, showed the Swedish forward both in the gym and on the grass, looking sharp and clearly thrilled to rejoin his teammates \u2014 a welcome boost for supporters.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s record signing has had a stop-start start to life at Anfield, making eight appearances so far, with one goal (against Southampton in the Carabao Cup) and one assist (against Chelsea in the league).<\/p>\n
His return couldn\u2019t have come at a better time as Liverpool aim to extend their winning run to three games in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Isak\u2019s joy was obvious throughout the session, with the 26-year-old all smiles as he trained. It\u2019s the kind of energy and lift the team needs before a huge trip to the Etihad.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot had already confirmed in his press conference that Isak would rejoin full training, saying:<\/p>\n
> \u201cHe will train for the first time today with the team again after being three weeks out\u2026 give him some time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even if he\u2019s not yet at peak sharpness, having the new No.9 back available is a major boost. His presence alone can change the mood \u2014 and make opponents sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n
Though pundits like Ian Wright have said Isak \u201chas to do well because Ekitike is doing it,\u201d others, including Roy Keane, remain confident: \u201cI still think he\u2019ll come good for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, seeing him back training and smiling again, it feels like that moment is near. Sometimes football isn\u2019t about stats or tactics \u2014 just the simple joy of watching a confident striker back in red, ready to make an impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
