"Iraola's football will only make things worse for him" - Liverpool told to sell Alexander Isak
Pundit Angelina Kelly has urged Liverpool to sell Alexander Isak due to his injury issues. The talkSPORT reporter claims that Andoni Iraola's style will only make it harder for the striker to maintain his fitness.
Speaking ontalkSPORT's Fiery Fridays, Kelly stated that Isak missing matches constantly is hurting Liverpool, as they are missing a key player in several games. She admitted the striker's broken leg was the main reason he missed games last season, but recent issues show he cannot be relied upon.
She said: "Alexander Isak was missing again [against LASK in the Champions League], missed the crunch match against Man City. It's getting to the point where Isak needs to make a decision about the direction his career is going in as he's missing far too much football.
Since joining L'pool, he's had three different injury spells, missed 36 games for club and country over 162 days." "I know that the leg break is just unfortunate, but even looking at this campaign, he's already missed one of their biggest games of the season. And at 27, he should be having his best years, but he's already having these injury issues and I'm concerned that stylistically, Iraola's football will only make things worse for him." "When he signed for Liverpool, it was under Arne Slot, who had a very different and much slower style than Iraola.
You fast forward, and you've now got a manager who wants his players to run 24/7, 365. if Isak continues to play Iraola ball, then I think he will pick up more injuries and then Liverpool will suffer by not having him available.
Angelina Kelly believes a move toBarcelonawould suit Isak, while PSG can also be an option for him. She claims that the two sides can bring out the best in him as well.
Alexander Isak joined Liverpool for a Premier League record deal in 2025 Newcastle United were reluctant to sell Alexander Isak in the summer of 2025, but the striker was desperate to leave the club. He refused to train with the first team for several days before the Magpies agreed to sell him to Liverpool on Deadline Day.
