Isak not in Liverpool squad for Burnley game
Alexander Isak is not in Liverpool's squad for their Premier League match at Burnley on Sunday.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot said on Friday that the forward, signed for a British-record fee of £125 million ($169 million) from Newcastle last month, would be eased in to action after a disrupted pre-season.
Isak's arrival after a protracted chase was part of an eye-catching Liverpool splurge of more than £400 million in the summer transfer window.
"He missed a proper pre-season, I think he missed three or four months of team sessions, so now we have to build him up gradually, with us playing so many games, hardly any training time," Slot told his pre-match press conference.
Liverpool named the same starting XI that began the victory over Arsenal before the international break.
The champions have won all three of their Premier League matches so far this season.
