Despite Isak seeing action with Sweden in midweek and Slot suggesting he would play at Turf Moor, Isak has been left out of the Liverpool squad for today's match.

This decision has sparked some discussion, with former Everton captain Leon Osman expressing his understanding of the situation.

Osman believes that Isak was not signed to play in this specific game, but rather as part of a long-term plan to get the best out of him.
