Frimpong Returns, Isak Joins Liverpool Training After £125m Transfer

Liverpool's right-back Jeremie Frimpong has returned to training after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained on the opening day of the Premier League season, and is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Burnley. In his absence, Dominik Szoboszlai has successfully filled the right-back position, creating a selection dilemma for head coach Arne Slot. Meanwhile, new record signing Alexander Isak has also joined Liverpool's training sessions for the first time since his £125 million transfer from Newcastle United, following his recent international duties with Sweden. Isak, who scored 23 Premier League goals last season, may not start immediately but is progressing toward match fitness, having recently come off the bench in Sweden's World Cup qualifying loss to Kosovo. Liverpool currently hold a perfect record in the Premier League under Slot, leading the table after three straight wins. The club is managing a busy schedule with six matches across three competitions in 17 days, suggesting a careful approach to easing players like Frimpong and Isak back into full action.
