Alexander Isak will return to team training on Thursday, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has confirmed.
The club-record £125m signing has been out since December after fracturing his leg and undergoing ankle surgery.
The 26-year-old Sweden striker made 16 appearances and scored three goals for the Reds before the injury suffered against Tottenham. Slot told the club’s website: “I think Alex is in a really good place because Sweden qualified for the World Cup and, apart from that, he’s going to train with the group again for the first time tomorrow. If you’ve worked so hard for three, four months or something like that and then to return to team training, that’s for everyone very nice. So Alex is, in that sense, in a good place.”
Liverpool are preparing to face Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday (12:45 BST).
Isak joined Liverpool from Newcastle United for a British-record transfer fee in September. He underwent surgery on an ankle injury that included a fibula fracture, sustained following a challenge by Micky van de Ven as he scored in a 2-1 win on 20 December.
