Alexander Isak has been named in a Liverpool squad for the first time since fracturing his leg in December, with the Swede among a 21-man party that has headed to France to face Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

Isak had returned to first-team training last Thursday but was omitted from the squad that lost 4-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup<\/a> at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

But he is now in line to return to action for the first time since he broke a bone in his leg when being challenged by Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven in the act of scoring at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium just before Christmas.<\/p>\n

Isak was pictured training with the Reds squad on Tuesday afternoon<\/a>, with no new injury issues reported for the trip to the French capital.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker remains out and hoopes to return from his hamstring injury in late April, while Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni all have longer term issues.<\/p>\n

Liverpool travelling squad: Gomez, Van Dijk, Konate, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Isak, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa, Jones, Gakpo, Ekitike, Mamardashvili, Robertson, Woodman, Frimpong, Gravenberch, Nyoni, Ngumoha, Misciur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alexander Isak has been named in a Liverpool squad for the first time since fracturing his leg in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":518124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1953,1969,218,134,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-518123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-alexander-isak","9":"tag-arne-slot","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-liverpool-fc","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=518123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/518123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/518124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=518123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=518123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=518123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
