Alexander Isak re‑joins Liverpool’s Champions League squad for Wednesday’s quarter‑final at Paris Saint‑Germain after a 15‑week injury layoff. The 26‑year‑old arrived from Newcastle on a £125 million deadline‑day deal, yet has featured only 16 times as fitness and a fractured ankle have hampered him. His return follows a week of training and a short‑notice flight to France. He hopes to prove his worth quickly.

Enrique and midfielder Vitinha have warned against complacency, insisting Liverpool are not favourites despite PSG’s home advantage. Liverpool’s recent form has slipped, highlighted by a 4‑0 FA Cup quarter‑final defeat to Manchester City, adding pressure on manager Arne Slot. Isak’s presence could revive an attack that has struggled to replace the goals of past signings. Fans expect a spark from the Swedish striker.

With Isak cleared to train on Tuesday, he joins a Liverpool line‑up that will need his 9‑meter accuracy and aerial threat against a PSG side that has dominated the French league. Should he find the net, the Swede could tilt a tightly contested tie in Liverpool’s favour, but the match will still hinge on overall team cohesion. Both managers will adjust tactics accordingly.
