Speaking on the eve of the game, manager Arne Slott confirmed that Isak would not start in Paris but could feature if needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>He said: &#8220;He has completed nearly a week of team training sessions. He can play a role, but otherwise I won&#8217;t take him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t take him to the Etihad because I felt he couldn&#8217;t perform yet. We think we can get performance out of him now, but we&#8217;re not starting now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>However, Liverpool will be without Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Stefan Bicetic and Giovanni Leoni for this game. Allison is expected to return by the end of the season, but Bradley, Endo, Vacic and Leoni are unlikely to return until next season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Meanwhile, Bradley Barcola, Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Njantu are expected to miss out for PSG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Coach Luis Enrique explained: &#8220;If he (Barcola) is still not feeling well, he won&#8217;t play tomorrow. He had a partial training session yesterday and a full training session today.&#8221; he will be back We are looking for the best conditions. He will tell us when he is ready. He lacks a little confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cWe will try to keep the ball more than Liverpool, who are a very good team with quality players and a very good coach, but it will be difficult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe quarter-finals are obviously a special game because there are only eight teams, and once you start getting used to this level, it\u2019s great for us as a team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;Of course it&#8217;s positive to show that against Liverpool. What we want is to qualify. We know it&#8217;s difficult, but we&#8217;re very motivated. We&#8217;re looking forward to playing at Parc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2191483\/Liverpool-PSG-injury-news-Alexander-Isak\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite this, the Sweden international is poised to make his first comeback since breaking a bone in his foot after being tackled by Micky van de Ven in his team&#8217;s 2-1 win over Tottenham just before Christmas.
