Isak has endured a challenging first season on Merseyside. He arrived from Newcastle lacking match fitness after missing pre-season, and suffered several injuries in the first half of the season.He then broke his leg in a December defeat of Tottenham, leaving him sidelined for a matter of months.The striker returned in early April, but missed Friday’s trip to Villa Park with another minor issue.Slot said he was left in Liverpool out of an abundance of caution, but confirmed his involvement in Liverpool’s season finale against Brentford is not certain.Alexander Isak broke his leg in a crunching tackle from Tottenham’s Micky van de VenGettyAsked on Friday if Isak would be able to feature against the Bees, Slot said: “Yes, there will definitely be a chance. He missed pre-season as we all know and then he broke his leg. “We've tried to be as careful as we could with him, taking into account that our other No9 Hugo Ekitike is out for such a long time, so we needed him as a result of that even more. “We've tried to be as careful as we could, but I don't think it can come to anyone as a surprise if you miss your pre-season, if you then break your leg, that minor injuries can occur if you have to start in Premier League games immediately in that intensity. “It's just a bit of bad luck for him that in the moment of time when he comes back, Hugo gets injured and we need him more. I expect him to train with us this week, but I cannot give any guarantees.”
