Liverpool striker Alexander Isak travelled with the squad for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first-leg trip to Paris St Germain, but the club's British record signing will not start against the European champions, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

The 26-year-old Sweden international returned to full team training last week following a prolonged absence with a broken leg. However, he was left out of the squad for Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final thrashing at Manchester City.

Isak's return is nonetheless a major boost for the reigning Premier League champions, who have endured a difficult domestic campaign.
