Isak needs time to get fit says Slot after leaving striker out of Liverpool win at Burnley
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be patient with new forward Alexander Isak, who was left out of the team's 1-0 win over Burnley. Slot said Isak is not yet ready to meet the demands of regular playing time, as he missed the pre-season and the club is looking to gradually build up his stamina. Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 95th minute, after Hannibal Mejbri handled the ball inside the box. It was a difficult day for Liverpool's star forward, who struggled to find his form. The article also mentions that Milos Kerkez was taken off the field to avoid a red card after a dive.
