Alexander Isak can still rescue Liverpool season and one player is proofLiverpool will be hopeful Alexander Isak can follow in the footsteps of one former player as he overcomes his serious injuryView Image Alexander Isak of Liverpool (Image: Joe Prior/Visionhaus via Getty Images)A big-money Liverpool striker summer signing, their debut season halted by a broken leg, now facing a race against time to regain fitness and contribute during the closing weeks with Champions League hopes and a top-four finish very much in the balance. ‌After all, the tortuous journey of Alexander Isak this campaign has already been travelled by Djibril Cisse who, in the summer of 2004, made a club record £14.5million move from French side Auxerre. Speaking on Thursday, the Liverpool boss believes Isak is capable of reproducing that form on his return to action, which is most likely to come after next month's international break. The striker will therefore hope there is still much to play for, with the Reds aiming to have secured quarter-final berths in both the Champions League and FA Cup in time for his return. And there could yet come a defining moment for Isak as reward for persevering throughout a difficult season.
