Slot: Isak has returned from long lay-off stronger and fitter

Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City will come too soon for Liverpool striker Alexander Isak, but head coach Arne Slot says the Swede now looks in a much better physical place than before he broke his leg.

Isak - who joined the champions from Newcastle for a British-record fee of £125m on September 1 - suffered the injury at Tottenham Hotspur on December 20 and only returned to first-team training on Thursday after 101 days on the sidelines.
