Arne Slot makes surprise Alexander Isak admission before Liverpool’s clash with PSG

  • Alexander Isak was named in Liverpool’s starting line-up for their Champions League clash with PSG on Tuesday night.
  • It was the first time he has been included in a starting XI since December, with the Swedish striker only recently returning from injury.
  • Liverpool boss Arne Slot surprisingly told Amazon Prime before the match that he is only planning to play Isak for 45 minutes.
  • This admission means Isak is set to be taken off at half time, regardless of how the tie is playing out.
  • Liverpool entered the second leg looking to overturn a two-goal deficit after losing last week’s first leg 2-0 in Paris.
