Isak (thigh) is still doubtful for Sunday's match against Manchester City after his injury over the international break, according to manager Andoni Iraola, per Theo Squires of the Liverpool Echo. "I think Alex had to leave the national teams with injuries. Now it's a matter of whether he is going to recover in time to help us in the next game or not. But right now he is injured."
Analysis:Isak has had little of an update since his initial injury during the break, but a bit more information has come out, with the forward still appearing to be doubtful. This continues to be a concern as Liverpool deals with limited attacking options due to injuries, with the likes of Bradley Barcole, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha set to lead the attack if Isak and his counterparts in the attack remain out as well. He only has a few days remaining to recover, so he would need to see a major boost in the coming days to play, with the club not likely to risk much after his extended absence last season.
