Liverpool's new signing Alexander Isak is yet to make an immediate impact, with manager Arne Slot stating that Isak is "far from ready" for a busy schedule of games and will start training properly with the team. Slot also mentioned that Isak won't play in the upcoming game against Burnley, but will be involved in the next game against Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Liverpool secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Burnley, with the team showing a strong mentality to score a late goal and make history by winning four consecutive games with a late winner.
