Isak (thigh) was absent from Liverpool's training session Thursday, leaving him doubtful for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Analysis:Isak remains a major doubt for Sunday's clash against Manchester City after failing to participate in Thursday's training session. The striker returned early from international duty with Sweden due to a thigh injury, and his absence from training suggests he has yet to recover sufficiently to rejoin the squad. Manager Andoni Iraola is expected to provide a further update Friday, but Isak is running out of time to prove his fitness. With Cody Gakpo (ankle), Federico Chiesa (back) and Hugo Ekitike (Achilles) also dealing with injuries, Liverpool could be forced to rely on Bradley Barcola, Victor Munoz and Rio Ngumoha in attack if Isak remains unavailable.
