Liverpool star Alexander Isak has suffered another injury blow with Sweden‚ forcing him to withdraw from international duty.
Former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted that Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz struggled to settle in at Anfield last season because the squad 'didn't care about football' following the death of Diogo Jota. Jota was tragically killed in a car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva in northern Spain in July 2025. The 28-year-old had been on his way to report to Merseyside for pre-season training. In the same summer‚ Liverpool purchased both Isak and Wirtz for a combined £241million. However‚ both players struggled in what was a difficult season for the Reds‚ as they finished fifth in the Premier League.
“He has to help us” - Andoni Iraola singles out Liverpool star with criticism despite win vs Bournemouth
LEWIS STEELE AT VITALITY STADIUM: Andoni Iraola toasted to a happy homecoming - and then prepared to jet off on his holidays knowing his work-in-progress Liverpool side are heading in the right direction‚ slowly but surely. It would be wrong to say the Reds' victory at Iraola's old stomping ground Bournemouth was thoroughly deserved or even convincing but as the new boss takes stock over the international break‚ he will have more positives than negatives to evaluate. Match-winner Alexander Isak is finally showing the sharpness and attacking efficiency the Anfield top brass thought they were paying £125million for a year or so ago‚ while other new signings are settling and previous sub-par performers look back to their best.
LEWIS STEELE AT PORTMAN ROAD: Liverpool were so mesmerisingly impressive in the first half at Portman Road‚ it was easy to forget they had their showpiece signing keeping warm on the bench. Bradley Barcola‚ all £123million of him‚ was limited to a watching brief for the first hour of this game and‚ from his padded seat‚ the Frenchman may have been pondering just how he gets in this team. Alexander Isak led the charge with two goals in the first nine minutes to help Liverpool halfway to their first win of the Andoni Iraola era‚ as the Swede closes in on matching his tally from last season already.
Enzo Fernandez has risked the wrath of Chelsea fans after claiming it was a dream to play for a club 'as big' as Man City after his £125million move‚ while only referencing the Blues as his 'previous club'. Fernandez completed his transfer to Man City on deadline day‚ with the deal equalling the British transfer record fee paid by Liverpool to Newcastle for Alexander Isak last summer. The Argentine had previously angered Chelsea supporters by flirting with a move to Real Madrid last season‚ leading to him being suspended by the club for two matches.
Manchester City struck a £125million deadline-day deal to secure Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea - but Xabi Alonso's side were left seething after Monaco pulled the plug on their own agreement for his replacement Lamine Camara. The Fernandez sale equals the British transfer record which was paid to Newcastle by Liverpool for Alexander Isak last summer‚ and is a fixed fee for the 25-year-old Argentinian with no add-ons involved. He was Enzo Maresca's top target in this window. Chelsea thought they had secured Camara from Monaco with less than two hours of deadline day remaining‚ having agreed a £47m deal. However‚ in a dramatic twist‚ the Blues were left stunned and furious when Monaco then went back on their word as the 11pm deadline approached.
A Liverpool fan has been savaged on social media after snatching Alexander Isak's shirt from a child following the Anfield club's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool's summer signings from last year to do better or face being branded as the worst collection of transfers in Premier League history. The Reds spent £445million ahead of the 2025-26 campaign as they looked to defend their Premier League title won in 2024-25. Liverpool broke the Premier League record twice that summer - signing Florian Wirtz for £116m before then breaking that to sign Alexander Isak for £125m.
IAN LADYMAN: Alexander Isak used to take penalties for his old club but when Liverpool won one in the 96th minute yesterday‚ I almost hoped he wouldn't take it. He didn't. But Liverpool need him. They really need him and that already feels like a problem for Andoni Iraola as he tries to navigate the early weeks of his time as Liverpool manager. As Liverpool laboured in the latter stages against Newcastle‚ Isak offered absolutely nothing but he stayed on the field simply because Iraola didn't really have any other option.
Gary Neville has warned Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak to improve and become more tenacious if they are to succeed as Liverpool players. The pair are the most expensive signings in the club's history with Wirtz's £116million price-tag only bettered by Isak's £125m transfer as a Premier League record signing. The pair endured underwhelming debut seasons at Liverpool last season as the club finished fifth‚ relinquishing their Premier League crown to Arsenal.
Alexander Isak the biggest bottler of all bottlers as Newcastle find new way to f**k it vs Liverpool
Alexander Isak has done very little to justify his British record transfer fee after moving from Newcastle United to Liverpool for £125million last summer. In fairness‚ he's been plagued by injuries - breaking his leg just three months into his Liverpool career. But even when he did feature‚ he looked like a shadow of his former self - beleaguered by the weight of his transfer fee and suffering from a lack of sharpness.
