Isak could start derby says Slot
Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, will make a late decision to find out if record signing Alexander Isak can start the Merseyside derby against Everton.
The 125 million pound striker Sterling made his Reds in the middle of the week and played about an hour from the Champions League victory against Atletico Madrid.
The attacker finds a complete physical form after his prolonged move from Newcastle and may not be risky during the kick -off of lunch.
Slot said, “I don’t think I say the media the day before a match. We recovered yesterday and we are going to train this afternoon.
“First of all, we just have to see what they all feel. All I know is probably that his body probably felt his body more than ever after the 60 minutes he played, so let’s see how he recovered today, so we will see the program later in the day and you will see tomorrow. “
Isak was relatively silent against Atletico, showing beautiful touches, but Slot is convinced that he and his new signature Hugo Ekitike can play in the same XI.
Ekitike cost Liverpool 69 million pounds sterling and scored in each of its first three appearances.
Slot said: “If the two are in the best form of their lives, you consider more to play them together, but it is quite clear that we have a certain structure of 4-3-3.
“Hugo can play on the left, different from how Cody (Gakpo) and Rio (Ngumoha) do this and that’s the right thing about our team.
“We have several options, but first of all, they all have to stay in shape to have these options. If all are not in good shape, we may have to use them both in a 4-4-2 but it depends on their form and the number of players available.”
