Isak has been struggling for fitness since making a summer switch from Newcastle to Liverpool for a British record fee of £125million. After a limited pre-season‚ most of which was spent forcing the move to Anfield‚ the Swede has picked up a number of niggling injuries and has struggled to kickstart his career in Merseyside. He did‚ however‚ return to the bench for Liverpool's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City last weekend after around three weeks out - but Arne Slot did not call upon him to save a miserable evening at the Etihad.
Isak has had a frustrating start to life on Merseyside‚ scoring just one goal - in the Carabao Cup - and struggling for fitness. He had a limited pre-season after forcing a move from Newcastle and has picked up a couple of niggling issues since his transfer. The Swede went off with a groin problem at half-time against Eintracht Frankfurt and has not been seen since - but Isak will return to full training for the first time on Friday and is in contention to make the substitutes bench against City.
Xavi Simons hit a new low when he was brought on and later substituted by Thomas Frank during Tottenham's Premier League clash with Chelsea. Simons‚ who joined Spurs for £52 million this summer‚ began the match on the bench against their London rivals. He replaced Lucas Bergvall after the Swede sustained a head injury in the opening minutes‚ coming on as a concussion substitute.
The star‚ now 27‚ was with Spurs from his youth teams days before signing his first professional deal‚ and was with the team until the end of last season. During that time‚ he had two loan spells - both with Swedish side Degerfors‚ but never really looked like making any impact of sorts on the first team and found himself way down the pecking order regularly. So he started dipping his toes into other areas of live to try potential careers‚ including acting classes‚ broadcasting‚ and photography.

But this was the moment he truly announced himself to the world at large. Chasing down Sweden's goalkeeper on the right flank‚ he blocked the attempted clearance‚ swivelled and lofted the ball gloriously into an empty net.
