Alexander Isak

OUT
Injury Groin
Est. Return 5/9/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Isak is coming off his best season as a professional, lighting the league up with a career-high 23 goals, finishing second in the Golden Boot race. He added six assists and had multi-goal contribution games in six different outings. While seemingly dealing with a nagging injury the majority of the second half of the season, he battled through and started 34 matches. His summer has been thrown into disarray as he pushes for a move away from Newcastle. With reports that he is refusing to play for the club again it's hard to see him suiting up on Tyneside during the 2025/26 campaign. If he does get his move to Liverpool he would remain one of the top strikers in the league and an elite option in all competitions.
Out to face United
Isak is out for Sunday's match against Manchester United due to an apparent groin injury, according to James Pearce of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Isak is no longer an option for Liverpool as he once again hits the sidelines this season, suffering from a groin injury that the club didn't want to risk. After only five games back, this is a rough loss, as he is trying to end the season fit after months on the sidelines. Without Hugo Ekitike as well, the club is now without its top two options at forward. Cody Gakpo steps into the forward role in their place. The good news is Isak is expected to return this season, being left out more for caution.

Building form off bench
Isak is fully available and featured for 12 minutes in Wednesday's Champions League clash against PSG, as he is expected to build his form off bench, according to coach Arne Slot. "Alexander is available for us again. So, to have him back is really nice. It was only 15 minutes, but it's good to have him back. Hopefully, we can progress his minutes, and we can grow his form as soon as possible, but last time, of course, it took him a while."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reds to launch final bid?
Liverpool are expected to launch a final bid for Isak, according to The Telegraph.
ANALYSIS
Liverpool only have a few days to get a deal done for Isak, and they're set to launch what would be a new British transfer record to secure the services of the Swede. Liverpool are expected to make an improved £130 million offer for the 25-year-old, but the add-ons and bonuses on the deal would make this transfer the most expensive one in Premier League history. It's unclear if Newcastle would be open to accept such offer, though.
