Liverpool's British record signing Alexander Isak will be in the squad when they kick off their Champions League campaign against Atletico Madrid, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.

While fans may be eager to see the Swedish striker in action at Anfield, however, Slot tried to play down their expectations.

"Definitely a chance because he's in the squad," Slot told reporters on Tuesday. "I can say 100 per cent sure he will not play 90 minutes. But he's part of the squad."

Isak, who signed on deadline day for 125 million pounds ($169.5 million) from Newcastle United, was left out of the squad for Sunday's 1-0 victory at Burnley, with Slot saying he was still not fully fit.
