Alexander Isak trained with Liverpool ahead of their Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday, but midfielder Curtis Jones was absent once again from the session.
Isak, who joined the Reds on Deadline Day in a British-record £125m deal, could finally make his first appearance under Arne Slot.
The Sweden international was left out of Sunday’s Premier League win at Burnley but looked sharp alongside Alexis Mac Allister and the rest of the squad on Tuesday.
Liverpool fans will be eager to see their new striker in action as the club kicks off their European campaign. All signs now point to his highly anticipated debut coming under the Anfield lights.
Meanwhile, Jones missed training again after sitting out the Burnley victory with a minor injury. The England international’s absence remains a concern, though Slot is expected to give an update at his press conference at 3.30pm today.
The Merseyside outfit heads into the Atletico test with momentum, but all eyes will be on the Swedish and whether he starts his Reds career on the biggest stage.
