Alexander Isak has been left out of the Liverpool squad to face Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday.
The striker is working his way back to fitness after missing pre-season with Newcastle United but was involved with Sweden over the international break, playing 20 minutes off the bench before returning to his new club.
Reds manager Arne Slot called for patience when it comes to Isak, admitting he is not yet fit enough for a major role, but fans will have to wait for their first sight of their new record signing as Isak has been left out of the squad altogether.
Liverpool Starting XI: Alisson; Szoboszlai, Van Dijk, Konaté, Kerkez; Wirtz, Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Gakpo, Ekitiké.
Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Bradley, Chiesa, Robertson, Frimpong, Nyoni, Ngumoha.
